15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. (A)And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 [a]Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. (B)The effective, [b]fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. 17 Elijah was a man (C)with a nature like ours, and (D)he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. 18 And he prayed (E)again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.

2 And so it was, when they had finished eating the grass of the land, that I said:
“O Lord God, forgive, I pray!
(A)Oh,[a] that Jacob may stand,
For he is small!”
3 So (B)the Lord relented concerning this.

4 Thus the Lord God showed me: Behold, the Lord God called [b]for conflict by fire, and it consumed the great deep and devoured the [c]territory. 5 Then I said:

For he is small!”

Isaiah 28:14-22
New King James Version
Isaiah 28:14-22
New King James Version
14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scornful men,
Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,
15 Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
And with Sheol we are in agreement.
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
It will not come to us,
(A)For we have made lies our refuge,
And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.”
A Cornerstone in Zion
16 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
“Behold, I lay in Zion (B)a stone for a foundation,
A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;
Whoever believes will not act hastily.
17 Also I will make justice the measuring line,
And righteousness the plummet;
The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
And the waters will overflow the hiding place.
18 Your covenant with death will be annulled,
And your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
Then you will be trampled down by it.
19 As often as it goes out it will take you;
For morning by morning it will pass over,
And by day and by night;
It will be a terror just to understand the report.”
20 For the bed is too short to stretch out on,
And the covering so narrow that one cannot wrap himself in it.
21 For the Lord will rise up as at Mount (C)Perazim,
He will be angry as in the Valley of (D)Gibeon—
That He may do His work, (E)His awesome work,
And bring to pass His act, His [a]unusual act.
22 Now therefore, do not be mockers,
Lest your bonds be made strong;
For I have heard from the Lord God of hosts,
(F)A [b]destruction determined even upon the whole earth.

New International Version
Isaiah 28:14-22
New International Version
14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord,(A) you scoffers(B)
who rule this people in Jerusalem.
15 You boast, “We have entered into a covenant with death,(C)
with the realm of the dead we have made an agreement.
When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by,(D)
it cannot touch us,
for we have made a lie(E) our refuge
and falsehood[a] our hiding place.(F)”
16 So this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion,(G) a tested stone,(H)
a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;(I)
the one who relies on it
will never be stricken with panic.(J)
17 I will make justice(K) the measuring line
and righteousness the plumb line;(L)
hail(M) will sweep away your refuge, the lie,
and water will overflow(N) your hiding place.
18 Your covenant with death will be annulled;
your agreement with the realm of the dead will not stand.(O)
When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by,(P)
you will be beaten down(Q) by it.
19 As often as it comes it will carry you away;(R)
morning after morning,(S) by day and by night,
it will sweep through.”
The understanding of this message
will bring sheer terror.(T)
20 The bed is too short to stretch out on,
the blanket too narrow to wrap around you.(U)
21 The Lord will rise up as he did at Mount Perazim,(V)
he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon(W)—
to do his work,(X) his strange work,
and perform his task, his alien task.
22 Now stop your mocking,(Y)
or your chains will become heavier;
the Lord, the Lord Almighty, has told me
of the destruction decreed(Z) against the whole land.(AA)
