Isaiah 28:16-18

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁶ Therefore the Lord God said:
“Look, I have laid a stone^(A) in Zion,
a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;^(B)
the one who believes will be unshakable.^[a](C)
17 And I will make justice the measuring line
and righteousness the mason’s level.”^(D)
Hail will sweep away the false refuge,
and water will flood your hiding place.
¹⁸ Your deal with Death will be dissolved,
and your agreement with Sheol will not last.
When the overwhelming scourge passes through,
you will be trampled.
