Isaiah 28:15-16

English Standard Version

¹⁵ Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
    and with Sheol we have an agreement,
when the ^(A)overwhelming whip passes through
    it will not come to us,
for we have made ^(B)lies our refuge,
    and in falsehood we have taken shelter”;
¹⁶ therefore thus says the Lord God,
^(C)“Behold, I am the one who has laid^[a] as a foundation ^(D)in Zion,
    a stone, a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation:
    ‘Whoever believes will not be in haste.’
