“I am placing a stone in Jerusalem^[a] that makes people stumble,
    a rock that makes them fall.
But anyone who trusts in him
    will never be disgraced.”^[b]

¹⁶ Therefore, this is what the Sovereign Lord says:
“Look! I am placing a foundation stone in Jerusalem,^[a]
    a firm and tested stone.
It is a precious cornerstone that is safe to build on.
    Whoever believes need never be shaken.^[b]

²⁶ Once again you will have all the food you want,
    and you will praise the Lord your God,
who does these miracles for you.
    Never again will my people be disgraced.
²⁷ Then you will know that I am among my people Israel,
    that I am the Lord your God, and there is no other.
    Never again will my people be disgraced.

²     I trust in you, my God!
Do not let me be disgraced,
    or let my enemies rejoice in my defeat.
³ No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced,
    but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others.

¹⁴     He will keep you safe.
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.
¹⁵ Many will stumble and fall,
    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]

“He is the stone that makes people stumble,
    the rock that makes them fall.”^[e]

²² The stone that the builders rejected
    has now become the cornerstone.
