12. He who said to them, "Here is rest, give rest to the weary," And, "Here is repose," but they would not listen.
13. So the word of the Lord to them will be, "Order on order, order on order, Line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there," That they may go and stumble backward, be broken, snared and taken captive.
14. Therefore, hear the word of the Lord, O scoffers, Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,
15. Because you have said, "We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol we have made a pact. The overwhelming scourge will not reach us when it passes by, For we have made falsehood our refuge and we have concealed ourselves with deception."
