Isaiah 28:15-17
Holman Christian Standard Bible
15 For you said, “We have cut a deal with Death,
and we have made an agreement with Sheol;
when the overwhelming scourge passes through,(A)
it will not touch us,
because we have made falsehood our refuge
and have hidden behind treachery.”
16 Therefore the Lord God said:
“Look, I have laid a stone(B) in Zion,
a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;(C)
the one who believes will be unshakable.[a](D)
17 And I will make justice the measuring line
and righteousness the mason’s level.”(E)
Hail will sweep away the false refuge,
and water will flood your hiding place.

Isaiah 28:15-17
New International Version
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)”
16 So this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“See, I lay a stone in Zion,(E) a tested stone,(F)
a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;(G)
the one who relies on it
will never be stricken with panic.(H)
17 I will make justice(I) the measuring line
and righteousness the plumb line;(J)
hail(K) will sweep away your refuge, the lie,
and water will overflow(L) your hiding place.
