Isaiah 28:13-15
Legacy Standard Bible
13 So the word of Yahweh to them will be,
“[a]Order on order, order on order,
Line on line, line on line,
A little here, a little there,”
That they may go and (A)stumble backward, be broken, snared, and taken captive.
A Cornerstone in Zion
14 Therefore, (B)hear the word of Yahweh, O (C)scoffers,
Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,
15 Because you have said, “We have cut a (D)covenant with death,
And with Sheol we have made a [b]pact.
(E)The overflowing [c]scourge will not reach us when it passes by,
For we have made (F)falsehood our refuge and we have (G)hidden ourselves with lying.”
