Isaias 28:15-17

Ang Dating Biblia (1905)

¹⁵Sapagka't inyong sinabi, Tayo'y nakipagtipan sa kamatayan, at sa Sheol ay nakipagkasundo tayo; pagka ang mahigpit na kasakunaan ay dumaan, hindi darating sa atin; sapagka't ating ginawang pinakakanlungan natin ang mga kabulaanan, at sa ilalim ng kasinungalingan ay nangagkubli tayo,

¹⁶Kaya't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoong Dios, Narito, aking inilalagay sa Sion na pinakapatibayan ang isang bato, isang batong subok, isang mahalagang batong panulok na may matibay na patibayan: ang naniniwala ay hindi magmamadali.

¹⁷At aking ilalagay na pinakapising panukat ang katuwiran, at pinakapabato ang kabanalan: at papalisin ng granizo ang kanlungan ng mga kabulaanan, at aapawan ng tubig ang taguang dako.

Isaiah 28:15-17

New International Version

¹⁵You boast, “We have entered into a covenant with death,^(A)
    with the realm of the dead we have made an agreement.
When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by,^(B)
    it cannot touch us,
for we have made a lie^(C) our refuge
    and falsehood^[a] our hiding place.^(D)”

¹⁶So this is what the Sovereign Lord says:

“See, I lay a stone in Zion,^(E) a tested stone,^(F)
    a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;^(G)
the one who relies on it
    will never be stricken with panic.^(H)
¹⁷I will make justice^(I) the measuring line
    and righteousness the plumb line;^(J)
hail^(K) will sweep away your refuge, the lie,
    and water will overflow^(L) your hiding place.

Isaiah 28:15 Or false gods

Isaiah 28:15-17

New King James Version

¹⁵Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
And with Sheol we are in agreement.
When the overflowing scourge passes through,
It will not come to us,
^(A)For we have made lies our refuge,
And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.”

A Cornerstone in Zion

¹⁶Therefore thus says the Lord God:

“Behold, I lay in Zion ^(B)a stone for a foundation,
A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;
Whoever believes will not act hastily.
¹⁷Also I will make justice the measuring line,
And righteousness the plummet;
The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
And the waters will overflow the hiding place.
