Isaiah 28:14 BBE

¹²  To whom he said, This is the rest, give rest to him who is tired; and by this you may get new strength; but they would not give ear.

¹³  For this cause the word of the Lord will be to them rule after rule, line after line, here a little, there a little; so that they may go on their way, and falling back may be broken, and taken in the net.

¹⁴  Give ear then to the word of the Lord, you men of pride, the rulers of this people in Jerusalem:

¹⁵  Because you have said, We have made death our friend, and with the underworld we have made an agreement; when the overflowing waters come through they will not come near us; for we are looking to false words for help, taking cover in what is untrue:

¹⁶  For this cause says the Lord God, See, I am placing in Zion as a base, a stone, a tested stone, an angle-stone which is certain and of great value: and he who has faith will not give way.
