This is the stone cast aside of you builders which is set in the chief place of the corner.

Therefore thus sayeth the LORD God: "Behold, I will lay a stone in Zion, a great stone, a costly corner stone, for a sure foundation: that whoso putteth his trust in him, shall not be confounded.

The same stone which the builders refused, is become the headstone in the corner.

If I say unto thee, concerning the ungodly man, that without doubt he must die: and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest unto him, that he may turn from his evil way, and so to live - Then shall the same ungodly man die in his own unrighteousness, but his blood will I require of thine hand.

And now, O thou son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: that whereas thou hearest anything out of my mouth, thou mayest warn them on my behalf.

for lo, the stone that I have laid before Joshua: upon one stone shall be seven eyes. Behold, I will hew him out, sayeth the LORD of Hosts, and take away the sin of that land in one day.

He answered, and said unto me, 'This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying: Neither through a host of men, nor through strength, but through my spirit, sayeth the LORD of Hosts.

Jesus said unto them, "Did ye never read in the scriptures? 'The same stone which the builders refused, the same is set in the principal part of the corner: this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes.'

He answered and said unto them, "Elijah verily shall first come and restore all things. Also the son of man, as it is written, shall suffer many things, and shall be set at nought.

Have ye not read this scripture? 'The stone which the builders did refuse, is made the chief stone in the corner:

He will come and destroy those farmers, and will let out his vineyard to others." When they heard that, they said, "God forbid."

Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? And they have slain them, which showed before of the coming of that Just, whom ye have betrayed and murdered.

Wherefore I take you to record this same day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.

Seeing then that we have such trust, we use great boldness;

Therefore seeing that we have such an office, even as mercy is come on us, we faint not:

and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets - Jesus Christ being the head cornerstone -

Wherefore it is contained in the scripture, "Behold, I put in Zion a head cornerstone, elect and precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be ashamed."
