Isaiah 28:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ Therefore, the Lord God
    has this to say to you in response:
Behold, I am laying a stone in Zion,
    a stone that has been tested,
a precious cornerstone as a firm foundation;
    those who place their trust in it will not falter.
¹⁷ And I will make justice the measuring line,
    with righteousness as the plumb line.
Hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
    and flood waters will submerge your hiding place.
¹⁸ Then your covenant with death will be annulled
    and your pact with Sheol will not survive.
When the raging waters roar forth,
    you will be overwhelmed by them.
