Isaiah 28:14-16

Modern English Version

¹⁴ Therefore, hear the word of the Lord, O scoffers,
    who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,
¹⁵ because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
    and with hell we are in agreement.
The overflowing scourge shall not come to us
    when it passes through,
for we have made lies our refuge
    and under falsehood we have hid ourselves.”

See, I lay in Zion a stone,
    a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, firmly placed;
    he who believes shall not act hastily.
