Isaiah 28:14-22
Legacy Standard Bible
A Cornerstone in Zion
14 Therefore, (A)hear the word of Yahweh, O (B)scoffers,
Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,
15 Because you have said, “We have cut a (C)covenant with death,
And with Sheol we have made a [a]pact.
(D)The overflowing [b]scourge will not reach us when it passes by,
For we have made (E)falsehood our refuge and we have (F)hidden ourselves with lying.”
16 Therefore thus says Lord Yahweh,
“(G)Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested (H)stone,
A costly cornerstone for the foundation, [c]firmly placed.
He who believes in it will not be [d]disturbed.
17 I will make (I)justice the measuring line
And righteousness the level;
Then (J)hail will sweep away the refuge of falsehood,
And the waters will overflow the secret place.
18 Your (K)covenant with death will be [e](L)canceled,
And your pact with Sheol will not stand;
When the (M)overflowing scourge passes through,
Then you will become its (N)trampling place.
19 As (O)often as it passes through, it will take you;
For (P)morning after morning it will pass through, anytime during the day or night,
And it will be [f]sheer (Q)terror to understand the report.”
20 The bed is too short on which to stretch out,
And the (R)blanket is too narrow to wrap oneself in.
21 For Yahweh will rise up as at Mount (S)Perazim;
He will be stirred up as in the valley of (T)Gibeon,
To work His (U)work, His [g](V)unusual work,
And to labor in His labor, His [h]exceptional labor.
22 So now do not carry on as (W)scoffers,
Lest your fetters be made stronger;
For I have heard from Lord Yahweh of hosts
Of complete (X)destruction, one that is decreed, on all the earth.

American Standard Version
14 Wherefore hear the word of Jehovah, ye scoffers, that rule this people that is in Jerusalem: 15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us; for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: 16 therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I [a]lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner-stone of sure foundation: he that believeth shall not be in haste. 17 And I will make justice the line, and righteousness the plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place. 18 And your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. 19 As often as it passeth through, it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass through, by day and by night: and it shall be nought but terror to understand the message. 20 For the bed is shorter than that a man can stretch himself on it; and the covering narrower than that he can wrap himself in it. 21 For Jehovah will rise up as in mount Perazim, he will be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon; that he may do his work, his strange work, and bring to pass his act, his strange act. 22 Now therefore be ye not scoffers, lest your bonds be made strong; for [b]a decree of destruction have I heard from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, upon the whole [c]earth.
