Isaiah 28:13-15
Holman Christian Standard Bible
13 Then the word of the Lord came to them:
“Law after law, law after law,
line after line, line after line,
a little here, a little there,”[a][b]
so they go stumbling backward,
to be broken, trapped, and captured.(A)
A Deal with Death
14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord,(B) you mockers(C)
who rule this people in Jerusalem.
15 For you said, “We have cut a deal with Death,
and we have made an agreement with Sheol;
when the overwhelming scourge passes through,(D)
it will not touch us,
because we have made falsehood our refuge
and have hidden behind treachery.”
