¹⁵ Because you have said, “We have cut a ^(A)covenant with death,
And with Sheol we have made a ^[a]pact.
^(B)The overflowing ^[b]scourge will not reach us when it passes by,
For we have made ^(C)falsehood our refuge and we have ^(D)hidden ourselves with lying.”

⁹ For this is a ^(A)rebellious people, ^(B)false sons,
Sons who are not willing to ^(C)listen
To the law of Yahweh,

¹³ Transgressing and ^(A)denying Yahweh,
And turning back from our God,
Speaking ^(B)oppression and revolt,
Conceiving in and ^(C)uttering from the heart lying words.
