Look! I lay a stone in Zion,(A)
a chosen and honored[a] cornerstone,[b](B)
and the one who believes in Him
will never be put to shame[d]

Lexham English Bible
6 For it stands in scripture,
“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a chosen and precious cornerstone,
and the one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”[a]
7 Therefore the honor is for you who believe, but for those who refuse to believe,
“The stone that the builders rejected,
this one has become the cornerstone[b],”
8 and
“A stone of stumbling and a rock of offense,”[c]
who stumble because they[d] disobey the word to which also they were consigned.
