Isaiah:28:14-22
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Wherefore hear the word of the LORD ,
ye scornful men ,
that rule this people which is in Jerusalem .
*
Because ye have said ,
We have made a covenant with death ,
and with hell are we at agreement ;
when the overflowing scourge shall pass through (
8675 ),
it shall not come unto us :
for we have made lies our refuge ,
and under falsehood have we hid ourselves :
*
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD ,
Behold ,
I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone ,
a tried stone ,
a precious corner stone ,
a sure foundation :
he that believeth shall not make haste .
*
Judgment also will I lay to the line ,
and righteousness to the plummet :
and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies ,
and the waters shall overflow the hiding place .
*
And your covenant with death shall be disannulled ,
and your agreement with hell shall not stand ;
when the overflowing scourge shall pass through ,
then ye shall be trodden down by it .
*
From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you :
for morning by morning shall it pass over ,
by day and by night :
and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report sh @

*
For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it :
and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it .
*
For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim ,
he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon Gib #
own #,
that he may do his work ma #
aseh #,
his strange work ma #
aseh #;
and bring to pass his act ,
his strange act .
*
Now therefore be ye not mockers ,
lest your bands be made strong :
for I have heard from the Lord GOD of hosts a consumption ,
even determined upon the whole earth .
