Isaiah 28:14-22 - The Cornerstone Of Zion
14
who rule this people in Jerusalem.
and we have made an agreement with Sheol;
when the overwhelming scourge passes through,
it will not touch us,
because we have made falsehood our refuge
and have hidden behind treachery.”
“Look, I have laid a stone
a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;
the one who believes will be unshakable.
and righteousness the mason’s level.”
Hail will sweep away the false refuge,
and water will flood your hiding place.
and your agreement with Sheol will not last.
When the overwhelming scourge passes through,
you will be trampled.
it will carry you away;
it will pass through every morning—
every day and every night.
Only terror
to understand the message.
and its cover too small to wrap up in.
He will rise in wrath, as at the Valley of Gibeon,
to do His work, His strange work,
and to perform His task, His disturbing task.
or your shackles will become stronger.
Indeed, I have heard from the Lord God of Hosts
a decree of destruction for the whole land.
