17 I will use justice as a measuring line
    and goodness as the standard.
The lies you hide behind will be destroyed as if by hail.
    They will be washed away as if in a flood.
18 Your agreement with death will be erased;
    your contract with death will not help you.
When terrible punishment comes,
    you will be crushed by it.
19 Whenever punishment comes, it will take you away.
    It will come morning after morning;
    it will defeat you by day and by night.
Those who understand this punishment will be terrified.”
