¹⁵ Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
    and with Sheol we have an agreement,
when the ^(A)overwhelming whip passes through
    it will not come to us,
for we have made ^(B)lies our refuge,
    and in falsehood we have taken shelter”;

¹⁸ Then ^(A)your covenant with death will be annulled,
    and your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
when the overwhelming scourge passes through,
    you will be beaten down by it.
