Isaiah 28:14-16
Lexham English Bible

The Cornerstone of Zion

14 Therefore hear the word of Yahweh, men of mockery,
    rulers of these people in Jerusalem:

15 Because you have said,

“We have made[a] a covenant with death,
    and we have made an agreement with Sheol.

The overwhelming flood, when it passes through, will not come to us,

for we have made lies[b] our refuge,
and we have hidden ourselves in falsehood.”

16 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this:

“Look! I am laying a stone in Zion,
    a tested[c] stone,
a precious cornerstone,
    a founded foundation:

‘The one who trusts will not panic.’[d]
