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 Cornerstone in Zion
“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.
And righteousness the plummet;
The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
And the waters will overflow the hiding place.
And your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
Then you will be trampled down by it.
For morning by morning it will pass over,
And by day and by night;
It will be a terror just to understand the report.”
| << Isaiah 28:15 | Isaiah 28:17 >> |
