14 So hear the word of Yah Veh, you scornful men who reign over this people in Yeru Shalem:
15 because you say, We cut a covenant with death and with sheol we work seers: when the overflowing whip passes through, it comes not to us: for we set lies our refuge, and under falsehood we hide ourselves.
16 So Adonay Yah Veh says thus, Behold, I lay a stone in Siyon for a foundation - a proofed stone; an esteemed corner; a founded foundation: he who trusts, hastens not.
17 And I set judgment to the line and justness to the plumb line: and the hail snatches away the refuge of lies, and the waters overflow the covert:
18 and your covenant with death is kapared/atoned and your vision with sheol rises not; when the overflowing whip passes through, then you become trampled thereby.
