Isaiah 28:17-19

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁷ And I will make justice the measuring line
and righteousness the mason’s level.”^(A)
Hail will sweep away the false refuge,
and water will flood your hiding place.
¹⁸ Your deal with Death will be dissolved,
and your agreement with Sheol will not last.
When the overwhelming scourge passes through,
you will be trampled.
¹⁹ Every time it passes through,
it will carry you away;
it will pass through every morning—
every day and every night.
Only terror^(B) will cause you
to understand the message.^[a]
