Isaiah 28:14-16
International Standard Version
God’s Precious Cornerstone
14 “Therefore hear[a] the message from the Lord, you scoffers
who rule this people that are in Jerusalem.
15 Because you said:
‘We have entered into a covenant with death,
and we have an agreement with Sheol,[b]
so when the overwhelming scourge makes its choice,[c]
it cannot reach us,
since we have made lies our refuge
and have concealed ourselves inside falsehood,’
16 therefore this is what the Lord God[d] says:
“Look! I am laying[e] a foundation stone in Zion, a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone for a sure[f] foundation:
Whoever believes firmly will not act hastily.
