Isaiah 28:14-16
New American Standard Bible 1995

Judah Is Warned

14 Therefore, (A)hear the word of the Lord, O (B)scoffers,
Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,
15 Because you have said, “We have made a (C)covenant with death,
And with [a]Sheol we have made a [b]pact.
(D)The overwhelming [c]scourge will not reach us when it passes by,
For we have made (E)falsehood our refuge and we have (F)concealed ourselves with deception.”

16 Therefore thus says the Lord [d]God,

“(G)Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested (H)stone,
A costly cornerstone for the foundation, [e]firmly placed.
He who believes in it will not be [f]disturbed.
