Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
Denn ihr sprechet: Wir haben einen Bund mit dem Tode geschlossen und einen Vertrag mit dem Scheol gemacht: Wenn die überflutende Geißel hindurchfährt, wird sie an uns nicht kommen; denn wir haben die Lüge zu unserer Zuflucht gemacht und in der Falschheit uns geborgen.

Bíblia Livre (BL)Português

📖 Isaiah 28:15 in Context
13But the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.
14Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
