Isaiah 28:13-15

Contemporary English Version

¹³ Now his message to you
will be senseless sound
    after senseless sound.^[a]
Then you will fall backwards,
    injured and trapped.

¹⁴ You rulers of Jerusalem
    do nothing but sneer;
now you must listen
    to what the Lord says.
^15 (A) Do you think you have
an agreement with death
    and the world of the dead?
Why do you trust in your lies
to keep you safe from danger
    and the mighty flood?
