## So listen to the word of Yahweh ##

AT: "So listen to Yahweh's message." Isaiah now speaks to the leaders of Jerusalem.

## We have made a covenant with death; with Sheol we have reached an agreement ##

Isaiah quotes the leaders who believe nothing bad will happen. They describe death and Sheol as a person that makes a covenant with them. AT: "Nothing bad will ever happen to us in Jerusalem. It is like we made a deal with death itself." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])

## So when the overflowing judgment passes through, it will not reach us ##

AT: "As a result when God judges the people, and the enemy army comes like a flood, it will not harm us." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]])

## for we have made a lie our refuge, and in falsehood we have hidden ##

AT: "for we trust in a lie and it will protect us."
