Isaiah 28:14-16

New Century Version

¹⁴ So listen to the Lord’s message, you who brag,
    you leaders in Jerusalem.
¹⁵ You say, “We have made an agreement with death;
    we have a contract with death.
When terrible punishment passes by,
    it won’t hurt us.
Our lies will keep us safe,
    and our tricks will hide us.”

“I will put a stone in the ground in Jerusalem,
    a tested stone.
Everything will be built on this important and precious rock.
    Anyone who trusts in it will never be disappointed.
