For you said, “We have made a covenant with death; we have fashioned an agreement with Sheol. When the overwhelming scourge passes through it will not touch us, because we have made lies our refuge and falsehood our hiding place.”
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
“Because you have said, ‘We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol are we in agreement. When the overflowing scourge passes through, it won’t come to us; for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves under falsehood.’”

Because ye have said{H559}{(H8804)}, We have made{H3772}{(H8804)} a covenant{H1285} with death{H4194}, and with hell{H7585} are we{H6213}{(H8804)} at agreement{H2374}; when the overflowing{H7857}{(H8802)} scourge{H7752}{(H8675)}{H7885} shall pass through{H5674}{(H8799)}{(H8675)}{H5674}{(H8804)}, it shall not come{H935}{(H8799)} unto us: for we have made{H7760}{(H8804)} lies{H3577} our refuge{H4268}, and under falsehood{H8267} have we hid{H5641}{(H8738)} ourselves:
