Isaiah 28:16-18

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁶ Therefore, this is what the Lord God says:
    Look, I am laying a stone in Zion as a foundation,
    a tested stone,
    a precious cornerstone to provide a sure foundation.
    Whoever believes will not be put to shame.^[a]
17 I will make justice the measuring line
and righteousness the plumb line.
A hailstorm will sweep away the refuge of lies,
and floodwaters will wash away your shelter.
¹⁸ Your covenant with death will be canceled,
and your agreement with the grave will not stand.
When the punishing whip comes,
you will be beaten down by it.
