Thematic Bible: Foundation of furnishes perfect security


Thematic Bible



For it says in scripture, "Look, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and priceless cornerstone, and whoever believes in him will never be put to shame."

Therefore, this is what the sovereign master, the Lord, says: "Look, I am laying a stone in Zion, an approved stone, set in place as a precious cornerstone for the foundation. The one who maintains his faith will not panic.

"Everyone who hears these words of mine and does them is like a wise man who built his house on rock.



"O afflicted one, driven away, and unconsoled! Look, I am about to set your stones in antimony and I lay your foundation with lapis-lazuli.

In this way they will save up a treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the future and so lay hold of what is truly life.
