“I, even I, am He who comforts you.
Who are you that you are afraid of man who dies
And of the son of man who is made like grass,

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

“Those who see you will gaze at you,
They will ponder over you, saying,
‘Is this the man who made the earth tremble,
Who shook kingdoms,

For in that day every man will cast away his silver idols and his gold idols, which your sinful hands have made for you as a sin.

“It is I who made the earth, and created man upon it.
I stretched out the heavens with My hands
And I ordained all their host.
