Isaiah the prophet was inspired to say to Judah: “Therefore hear the word of Jehovah, you braggarts, you rulers of this people who are in Jerusalem: Because you men have said: ‘ We have concluded a covenant with Death; and with Sheol we have effected a vision; the overflowing flash flood, in case it should pass through, will not come to us, for we have made a lie our refuge and in falsehood we have concealed ourselves. ’ ” ​ — Isaiah 28: 14, 15.
Prohvet Jesaja inspireeriti Juudale ütlema: „Seepärast kuulge Jehoova sõna, te hooplejad mehed, pilkajad selle rahva hulgas, kes asub Jeruusalemmas, sest te ütlete: ’ Me oleme sõlminud surmaga lepingu ja loonud põrguhauaga [„ Šeoliga ”, NW] liidu — käigu või üle tulvav uputus, meieni see ei ulatu, sest me valisime oma varjupaigaks vale ja pugesime pelgu pettusesse! ’ ” — Jesaja 28: 14, 15.
