15 Because 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,
Is. 9:15; Ezek. 13:22; Amos 2:4For we have made lies our refuge,
And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves."
A Cornerstone in Zion
16 Therefore thus says the Lord God:
"Behold, I lay in Zion Gen. 49:24; Ps. 118:22; Is. 8:14, 15; Matt. 21:42; Mark 12:10; Luke 20:17; Acts 4:11; Rom. 9:33; 10:11; Eph. 2:20; 1 Pet. 2:6–8a stone for a foundation,
A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;
Whoever believes will not act hastily.
