Isaiah 28:15-19
New Living Translation
15 You boast, “We have struck a bargain to cheat death
and have made a deal to dodge the grave.[a]
The coming destruction can never touch us,
for we have built a strong refuge made of lies and deception.”
16 Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“Look! I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem,[b]
a firm and tested stone.
It is a precious cornerstone that is safe to build on.
Whoever believes need never be shaken.[c]
17 I will test you with the measuring line of justice
and the plumb line of righteousness.
Since your refuge is made of lies,
a hailstorm will knock it down.
Since it is made of deception,
a flood will sweep it away.
18 I will cancel the bargain you made to cheat death,
and I will overturn your deal to dodge the grave.
When the terrible enemy sweeps through,
you will be trampled into the ground.
19 Again and again that flood will come,
morning after morning,
day and night,
until you are carried away.”
This message will bring terror to your people.

Isaiah 28:15-19
New International Version
15 You boast, “We have entered into a covenant with death,(A)
with the realm of the dead we have made an agreement.
When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by,(B)
it cannot touch us,
for we have made a lie(C) our refuge
and falsehood[a] our hiding place.(D)”
16 So this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion,(E) a tested stone,(F)
a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;(G)
the one who relies on it
will never be stricken with panic.(H)
17 I will make justice(I) the measuring line
and righteousness the plumb line;(J)
hail(K) will sweep away your refuge, the lie,
and water will overflow(L) your hiding place.
18 Your covenant with death will be annulled;
your agreement with the realm of the dead will not stand.(M)
When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by,(N)
you will be beaten down(O) by it.
19 As often as it comes it will carry you away;(P)
morning after morning,(Q) by day and by night,
it will sweep through.”
The understanding of this message
will bring sheer terror.(R)
