Isaiah 28:14-15

Judah Is Warned

^{Tools
14}

Therefore, ^(A)hear the word of the Lord, O ^(B)scoffers,
Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,

^{Tools
15}

Because you have said, “We have made a ^(C)covenant with death,
And with ^(a)Sheol we have made a ^(b)pact.
^(D)The overwhelming ^(c)scourge will not reach us when it passes by,
For we have made ^(E)falsehood our refuge and we have ^(F)concealed ourselves with deception.”
