Isaiah 28:11-13

The leaders have not been responsible. They have disappointed their nation. And the result will be that they hear even more strange sounds. An enemy that speaks a strange language will carry off many people from Samaria into a foreign country.

Isaiah now turns to the leaders of Judah

v14 Therefore (says Isaiah), you who laugh at my words, listen. You leaders that have authority over the citizens of *Jerusalem, listen to the words of the *Lord. v15 You leaders are proud of your military agreement with Egypt. But in fact it is an agreement with Death. It is an agreement with *Sheol (the place where dead people go). That is what such an agreement will mean for you. It will mean the death (the end) of your nation. But you are so sure that any attack in the area will not affect you. You think that your lies will defend you. And you think that false promises (promises that have no value) will be your protection.
