כִּ֣י אֲמַרְתֶּ֗ם כָּרַ֤תְנֽוּ בְרִית֙ אֶת־מָ֔וֶת וְעִם־שְׁא֖וֹל עָשִׂ֣ינוּ חֹזֶ֑ה שיט [שׁ֣וֹט] שׁוֹטֵ֤ף כִּֽי־עבר [יַֽעֲבֹר֙] לֹ֣א יְבוֹאֵ֔נוּ כִּ֣י שַׂ֧מְנוּ כָזָ֛ב מַחְסֵ֖נוּ וּבַשֶּׁ֥קֶר נִסְתָּֽרְנוּ׃ (ס)
Porquanto dizeis: Fizemos pacto com a morte, e com o Seol fizemos aliança; quando passar o flagelo trasbordante, não chegará a nós; porque fizemos da mentira o nosso refúgio, e debaixo da falsidade nos escondemos.

Ibn Ezra on Isaiah
We have made a covenant with death. We shall not die now.
Rashi on Isaiah
