Isaiah 28:17
King James Version
10 Jun 2026
“Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.”
מַחֲסֶה
A place you run to when the storm hits. Not built by human hands. The psalmist had seen cities fall, mountains shake, waters roar — and still declared God as refuge. Not because the storm stopped, but because the shelter held.
