Isaiah 28:13-15

Common English Bible

¹⁴ Therefore, hear the Lord’s word,
    you scoffers who rule this people in Jerusalem.
¹⁵ You said, “We’ve cut a deal with death;^[a]
    with the underworld^[b] we made a pact.
When the overflowing flood passes through, it won’t reach us;
    for we have made lies our hiding place,
    and in falsehood we take shelter.”
