Isaiah 28:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ And the word of the Lord shall be to them: Command, command again; command, command again: expect, expect again; expect, expect again: a little there, a little there: that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

¹⁴ Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, who rule over my people that is in Jerusalem.

¹⁵ For you have said: We have entered into a league with death, and we have made a covenant with hell. When the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come upon us: for we have placed our hope in lies, and by falsehood we are protected.
