Isaiah 28:17-19

English Standard Version

¹⁷ And I will make justice ^(A)the line,
    and righteousness ^(B)the plumb line;
and hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
    and waters will overwhelm the shelter.”
¹⁸ Then ^(C)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.
¹⁹ As often as it passes through it will take you;
    ^(D)for morning by morning it will pass through,
    by day and by night;
and it will be ^(E)sheer terror to understand the message.
