6 As the Scriptures say,
“I am placing a cornerstone in Jerusalem,[a]
chosen for great honor,
and anyone who trusts in him
will never be disgraced.”[b]
7 Yes, you who trust him recognize the honor God has given him.[c] But for those who reject him,
“The stone that the builders rejected
has now become the cornerstone.”[d]
8 And,
“He is the stone that makes people stumble,
the rock that makes them fall.”[e]
They stumble because they do not obey God’s word, and so they meet the fate that was planned for them.
