The scourge overflowing when it shall pass, shall not come upon us: because we have made lying our hope, and with lying we are protected.For you haue sayd: We haue stroken a league with death, and with hel we haue made a couenant. The scourge ouerflowing when it shal passe, shal not come vpon vs: because we haue made lying our hope, and with lying we are protected.Dixistis enim : Percussimus fœdus cum morte, et cum inferno fecimus pactum : flagellum inundans cum transierit, non veniet super nos quia posuimus mendacium spem nostram, et mendacio protecti sumus.
16Therefore thus saith our Lord God: Behold I will send in the foundations of Sion a stone, an approved stone, a corner stone, precious founded in the foundation.
