Isaiah 28:15

15 Because you have said, “We have made a ^acovenant with death,
And with ^{▼▼I.e., the netherworld}Sheol we have made a ^{▼▼As in some ancient versions; MT seer}pact.
^dThe ^{▼▼Or overwhelming scourge}gushing flood will not reach us when it passes by,
Because we have made ^ffalsehood our refuge and we have ^gconcealed ourselves with deception.”
