Verse 17
The rulers had made a covenant in which they hoped (Isaiah 28:15), but God would make justice and righteousness the measuring standards by which He would act and judge His people. They thought they could avoid the "overwhelming scourge" (cf. Isaiah 10:22; Isaiah 10:26) of their enemy by taking refuge in a treaty (Isaiah 28:15), but God would allow them to be swept away by an adversary (cf. Isaiah 28:2).
