*
Because you have said , "
We have made a covenant with death ,
And with Sheol we are in agreement .
When the overflowing scourge passes through ,
It will not come to us ,
For we have made lies our refuge ,
And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves ."
*
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD : "
Behold ,
I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation ,
A tried stone ,
a precious cornerstone ,
a sure foundation ;
Whoever believes will not act hastily .
*
Also I will make justice the measuring line ,
And righteousness the plummet ;
The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies ,
And the waters will overflow the hiding place .
*
Your covenant with death will be annulled ,
And your agreement with Sheol will not stand ;
When the overflowing scourge passes through ,
Then you will be trampled down by it .
*
As often as it goes out it will take you ;
For morning by morning it will pass over ,
And by day and by night ;
It will be a terror just to understand the report ."
