13 But the word of the Lord was to them,
“Precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
Line upon line, line upon line,
Here a little, there a little,”
That they might go and fall backward, and be broken
And snared and caught.
“Precept upon precept, precept upon precept,

15 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,
aFor we have made lies our refuge,
And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.”
And with Sheol we are in agreement.
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
It will not come to us,
aFor we have made lies our refuge,
And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.”

A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;
Whoever believes will not act hastily.
“Behold, I lay in Zion aa stone for a foundation,
A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;
Whoever believes will not act hastily.
17 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.
And righteousness the plummet;
The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
And the waters will overflow the hiding place.
18 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.
And your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
Then you will be trampled down by it.
19 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.”
For morning by morning it will pass over,
And by day and by night;
It will be a terror just to understand the report.”
20 For the bed is too short to stretch out on,
And the covering so narrow that one cannot wrap himself in it.
And the covering so narrow that one cannot wrap himself in it.
21 For the Lord will rise up as at Mount aPerazim,
He will be angry as in the Valley of bGibeon—
That He may do His work, cHis awesome work,
And bring to pass His act, His1 unusual act.
He will be angry as in the Valley of bGibeon—
That He may do His work, cHis awesome work,
And bring to pass His act, His1 unusual act.

Lest your bonds be ma1de strong;
For I have heard from the Lord God of hosts,
aA destruction determined even upon the whole earth.
Lest your bonds be ma1de strong;
For I have heard from the Lord God of hosts,
aA destruction determined even upon the whole earth.
