Isaiah 28:14-18

New American Standard Bible

Judah Is Warned

¹⁴Therefore, ^(A)hear the word of the Lord, you ^(B)scoffers,
Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,
¹⁵Because you have said, “We have made a ^(C)covenant with death,
And with ^[a]Sheol we have made a ^[b]pact.
^(D)The ^[c]gushing flood will not reach us when it passes by,
Because we have made ^(E)falsehood our refuge and we have ^(F)concealed ourselves with deception.”

¹⁶Therefore this is what the Lord ^[d]God says:

“^(G)Behold, I am laying a stone in Zion, a tested ^(H)stone,
A precious cornerstone for the foundation, ^[e]firmly placed.
The one who believes in it will not be ^[f]disturbed.
¹⁷I will make ^(I)justice the measuring line
And righteousness the level;
Then ^(J)hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
And the waters will overflow the secret place.
¹⁸Your ^(K)covenant with death will be ^[g]^(L)canceled,
And your pact with Sheol will not stand;
When the ^(M)^[h]gushing flood passes through,
Then you will become its ^(N)trampling ground.

Daniel 9:26-27

New American Standard Bible

²⁶Then after the sixty-two weeks, the ^[a]Messiah will be ^(A)cut off and have ^[b]nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will ^(B)destroy the city and the sanctuary. And ^[c]its end will come with a ^(C)flood; even to the end ^[d]there will be war; desolations are determined. ²⁷And he will confirm a covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of ^[e]^(D)abominations will come the one who ^[f]makes desolate, until a ^(E)complete destruction, one that is ^[g]decreed, gushes forth on the one who ^[h]makes desolate.”
