14
Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, ye afflicted men, and ye princes of this people that is in Jerusalem.
15
Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with Hades, and agreements with death; if the rushing storm should pass, it shall not come upon us: we have made falsehood our hope, and by falsehood shall we be protected:
16
Therefore thus saith the Lord, the Lord, Behold, I lay for the foundations of Sion a costly stone, a choice, a corner-stone, a precious , for its foundations; and he that believes shall by no means be ashamed.
17
And I will cause judgment for hope, and my compassion shall be for measures, and ye that trust vainly in falsehood : for the storm shall by no means pass by you,
18
except it also take away your covenant of death, and your trust in Hades shall by no means stand: if the rushing storm should come upon you, ye shall be beaten down by it.
