¹⁵ You boast, “We have entered into a covenant with death,^(A)
    with the realm of the dead we have made an agreement.
When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by,^(B)
    it cannot touch us,
for we have made a lie^(C) our refuge
    and falsehood^[a] our hiding place.^(D)”

¹⁴ And among the prophets of Jerusalem
    I have seen something horrible:^(A)
    They commit adultery and live a lie.^(B)
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,^(C)
    so that not one of them turns from their wickedness.^(D)
They are all like Sodom^(E) to me;
    the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”^(F)
