Isaiah 28:17-19
International Standard Version
17 And I will make justice the measuring line,
and righteousness the plumb line;
hail will sweep away your refuge of lies,
and floods[a] will overflow your hiding place.
18 “Then your covenant with death will be annulled,
and your agreement with Sheol[b] will not stand;
when the overwhelming scourge sweeps by,
you will be trampled by it.
19 As often as it sweeps through,
it will carry you away,
for it will sweep by morning after morning in the day;
but understanding this message will bring sheer terror at night,[c]
