Isaiah 28:14-16

Tree of Life Version

¹⁴ Therefore hear the word of Adonai, you scoffers,
who rule this people who are in Jerusalem:
¹⁵ “Because you have said,
‘We cut a covenant with death,
    we made a pact with Sheol,
so when the overflowing scourge passes through,
    it won’t come for us,
for we have made lies our refuge,
    and hid ourselves in falsehood’—
¹⁶ Therefore thus says Adonai Elohim:
‘Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
    a tested stone,
    a costly cornerstone,^[a] a firm foundation—
whoever trusts will not flee in haste.^[b]
