Therefore hear the word of the Lord,^(A) you mockers^(B)
who rule this people in Jerusalem.

For you said, “We have cut a deal with Death,
and we have made an agreement with Sheol;
when the overwhelming scourge passes through,^(C)
it will not touch us,
because we have made falsehood our refuge
and have hidden behind treachery.”
