What does the Bible say about the refuge of the wicked?

According to Isaiah 28:14-15, the wicked have made a covenant with death and rely on lies as their refuge. They believe that their actions will please God, but they ignore the truth of His Word. This false refuge leads to delusion, where they think they are secure from judgment. The Lord calls these individuals scornful, highlighting that their reliance on anything other than Him is ultimately futile. Instead, what they see as peace is actually a separation from God's true rest and salvation. Thus, every assurance that does not rest in the reality of God’s truth is merely an illusion, leading to their ruin.
