15 For you said, "We have made a covenant with Death,
and we have an agreement with Sheol;
when the overwhelming catastrophe 28:15 Or whip; Hb obscure, also in v. 18 passes through, 28:15 Is 8:7–8
it will not touch us,
because we have made falsehood our refuge
and have hidden behind treachery."
16 Therefore the Lord God said:
"Look, I have laid a stone 28:16 Is 8:14; 26:4 in Zion,
a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; 28:16 Mt 21:42; Mk 12:10; Lk 20:17; Ac 4:11; 1Co 3:11; Eph 2:20
the one who believes will be unshakable. 28:16 Lit will not hurry, 28:16 Rm 9:33; 1Pt 2:6
