Isaiah 28:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ I will use justice as a measuring line
    and ·goodness [righteousness] as the ·standard [plumb line].
The lies you ·hide behind [take refuge in] will be ·destroyed [swept away] as if by hail.
    ·They [Your hiding place/shelter] will be washed away as if in a flood.
¹⁸ Your ·agreement [covenant; treaty] with death will be ·erased [annulled];
    your contract with ·death [or the grave; ^LSheol] will not ·help you [stand; last].
When ·terrible punishment [overwhelming scourge/flood] comes,
    you will be ·crushed [beaten down] by it.
¹⁹ Whenever ·punishment [^Lit] comes, it will take you away.
    It will come morning after morning;
    it will ·defeat you [sweep through] by day and by night.
Those who understand this punishment will be terrified.”
