17 And I will make justice the measuring line,
    and righteousness the plumb line;
and hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,[a]
    and waters will flood over the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death will be annulled,
    and your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
you will become a trampling place for the overwhelming flood when it passes through.
19     As often as it passes through,[b] it will take you,
for morning by morning[c] it will pass through,
    in the day and in the night,

and understanding the message will be only terror.”
