Isaiah 28:16-18

New American Standard Bible 1995

“^(A)Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested ^(B)stone,
A costly cornerstone for the foundation, ^[b]firmly placed.
He who believes in it will not be ^[c]disturbed.
¹⁷ “I will make ^(C)justice the measuring line
And righteousness the level;
Then ^(D)hail will sweep away the refuge of lies
And the waters will overflow the secret place.
¹⁸ “Your ^(E)covenant with death will be ^[d](F)canceled,
And your pact with Sheol will not stand;
When the ^(G)overwhelming scourge passes through,
Then you become its ^(H)trampling place.
