13 So then, here is what the Lord’s message will become to them.
    Do this and do that.
There is a rule for this and a rule for that.
    Learn a little here and learn a little there.
So when they try to go forward,
    they’ll fall back and be wounded.
    They’ll be trapped and captured.

14 Listen to the Lord’s message,
    you who make fun of the truth.
    Listen, you who rule over these people in Jerusalem.
15 You brag, “We have entered into a covenant with the place of the dead.
    We have made an agreement with the grave.
When a terrible plague comes to punish us,
    it can’t touch us.
That’s because we depend on lies to keep us safe.
    We hide behind what isn’t true.”
