But to Israel and Judah
he will be a stone that makes people stumble,
a rock that makes them fall.
And for the people of Jerusalem
he will be a trap and a snare.

never to rise again.
They will be snared and captured.”

“I am placing a cornerstone in Jerusalem,[a]
chosen for great honor,
and anyone who trusts in him
will never be disgraced.”[b]

“The stone that the builders rejected
has now become the cornerstone.”[d]

the rock that makes them fall.”[e]
