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”;
16 therefore thus says the Lord God,
(C)“Behold, I am the one who has laid[a] as a foundation (D)in Zion,
    a stone, a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation:
    ‘Whoever believes will not be in haste.’
17 And I will make justice (E)the line,
    and righteousness (F)the plumb line;
and hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
    and waters will overwhelm the shelter.”
18 Then (G)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.
