and righteousness the plummet;
hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
and waters will overwhelm the shelter.(A)
18 Then your covenant with death will be annulled,
and your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
when the overwhelming scourge passes through,

for morning by morning it will pass through,
by day and by night,
and it will be sheer terror to understand the message.”(C)

and the covering is too narrow to wrap oneself in it.

and to work his work—alien is his work!(D)

or your bonds will be made stronger,
for I have heard a decree of destruction
from the Lord God of hosts upon the whole land.(E)
