he hides his face and will never see.’^(A)

¹³ Why has the wicked person despised God?

¹⁵ For you said, ‘We have made a covenant with Death,
and we have an agreement with Sheol;
when the overwhelming catastrophe^[a] passes through,^(A)
it will not touch us,
because we have made falsehood our refuge
and have hidden behind treachery.’

30 Woe to the rebellious children!^(A)

They carry out a plan,^(B) but not mine;
they make an alliance,
but against my will,
piling sin on top of sin.
