^(A)“Behold, I am laying in Zion ^(B)a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence;
    ^(C)and whoever believes in him will not be ^(D)put to shame.”

^(A)“A stone of stumbling,
    and a rock of offence.”

¹⁶ therefore thus says the Lord God,
^(A)“Behold, I am the one who has laid^[a] as a foundation ^(B)in Zion,
    a stone, a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation:
    ‘Whoever believes will not be in haste.’
