⁴ I said to the boastful, ‘Do not boast,’
And to the wicked, ‘^(A)Do not raise up the horn;
⁵ Do not raise up your horn on high,
^(B)Nor speak with insolent ^[a]pride.’”

¹⁴ Therefore, ^(A)hear the word of Yahweh, O ^(B)scoffers,
Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,
¹⁵ Because you have said, “We have cut a ^(C)covenant with death,
And with Sheol we have made a ^[a]pact.
^(D)The overflowing ^[b]scourge will not reach us when it passes by,
For we have made ^(E)falsehood our refuge and we have ^(F)hidden ourselves with lying.”
