13 And I shall certainly stretch upon Jerusalem the measuring line+ applied to Sa·marʹi·a+ and also the leveling instrument applied to the house of Aʹhab;+ and I shall simply wipe+ Jerusalem clean just as one wipes the handleless bowl clean, wiping it clean and turning it upside down.*+
17 And I will make justice* the measuring line+ and righteousness+ the leveling instrument; and the hail+ must sweep away the refuge of a lie,+ and the waters themselves will flood out the very place of concealment.+
