Isaiah 28:14-16

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁴ Therefore hear the word of the Lord,^(A) you mockers^(B)
who rule this people in Jerusalem.
¹⁵ For you said, “We have cut a deal with Death,
and we have made an agreement with Sheol;
when the overwhelming scourge passes through,^(C)
it will not touch us,
because we have made falsehood our refuge
and have hidden behind treachery.”
¹⁶ Therefore the Lord God said:
“Look, I have laid a stone^(D) in Zion,
a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;^(E)
the one who believes will be unshakable.^[a](F)
