15 You say, “We made a treaty with death
    and an agreement with the grave.
    When the overwhelming disaster passes by,
    it won’t matter to us,
        because we have taken refuge in our lies,
            and falsehood is our hiding place.”

16 This is what Adonay Yahweh says:

I am going to lay a rock in Zion,
    a rock that has been tested,
    a precious cornerstone,
    a solid foundation.
        Whoever believes in him will not worry.
17 I will make justice a measuring line
    and righteousness a plumb line.
    Hail will sweep away your refuge of lies,
    and floodwaters will wash away your hiding place.
