A Deal with Death
14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord,(A) you scoffers(B)
who rule this people in Jerusalem.
15 For you said, “We have made a covenant with Death,
and we have an agreement with Sheol;
when the overwhelming catastrophe[a] passes through,(C)
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(D) in Zion,

a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;(E)
the one who believes will be unshakable.[b](F)

with the realm of the dead we have made an agreement.

and falsehood[a] our hiding place.(F)”
