LEB(i)
14 Therefore hear the word of Yahweh, men of mockery, rulers of these people in Jerusalem:
15 Because you have said,
"We have ⌊made⌋* a covenant with death, and we have made an agreement with Sheol.
The overwhelming flood, when it passes through, will not come to us,
for we have made lies* our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves in falsehood." 16 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this:
"Look! I am laying a stone in Zion, a ⌊tested⌋* stone, a precious cornerstone, a founded foundation:
'The one who trusts will not ⌊panic⌋.'* 17 And I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the plumb line; and hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,* and waters will flood over the hiding place. 18 And your covenant with death will be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand; you will become a trampling place for the overwhelming flood when it passes through.
