Because you have said, We have cut a covenant with death; and, We have made a vision with Sheol, when the overwhelming scourge passes through it will not come to us, for we have made the lie our refuge, and we have hidden in falsehood.
transgressing and lying against Jehovah, and backsliding from after our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and murmuring words of falsehood from the heart.
Then I said, Woe to me! For I am cut off; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live amongst a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of Hosts.
Oh, that I had a lodging place for my journeying in the wilderness, that I might leave my people and go away from them! For they all are committing adultery, an assembly of ones acting deceitfully.
So the Lord Jehovah says this: Because you have spoken vanity and have seen a lie, therefore, behold, I am against you, a statement of the Lord Jehovah.
Therefore, As I live, a statement of the Lord Jehovah, Surely for blood I appoint you, and blood shall pursue you. Since you have not hated blood, so blood shall pursue you.

Woe to them! For they have fled from Me. Ruin to them! For they have transgressed against Me. Though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against Me.

The godly one has perished from the earth, and the upright one is not among mankind. All of them lie in wait for blood; each man hunts his brother with a net.
