The one who believes will not panic.' 17 I will make justice the measuring line and righteousness the plumb line. Hail will sweep away your refuge of lies, and water will flood your hiding place. 18 Your covenant with death will be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand.

The understanding of this message will bring only terror.
