ગુજરાતીયશાયા ૨૮:૧૬
તેથી પ્રભુ યહોવાહ કહે છે કે, “જુઓ: સિયોનમાં હું પાયાનો પથ્થર મૂકુ છું, તે કસી જોયેલો પથ્થર, મૂલ્યવાન ખૂણાનો પથ્થર, મૂળ પાયો છે. જે વિશ્વાસ રાખે છે તે લજ્જિત થશે નહિ.
हिन्दीयशायाह २८:१६
इसलिए प्रभु यहोवा यह कहता है, “देखो, मैंने सिय्योन में नींव का पत्थर रखा है, एक परखा हुआ पत्थर, कोने का अनमोल और अति दृढ़ नींव के योग्य पत्थर: और जो कोई विश्वास रखे वह उतावली न करेगा। (रोम. 9:33, 1 कुरि. 3:11, इफि. 2:20, 1 पत. 2:4-6)

In context

14Therefore hear the LORD’s word, you scoffers, that rule this people in Jerusalem:

15“Because you have said, ‘We have made a covenant with death, and we are in agreement with Sheol. When the overflowing scourge passes through, it won’t come to us; for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves under falsehood.’”

16Therefore the Lord GOD says, “Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone of a sure foundation. He who believes shall not act hastily.

17I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the plumb line. The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters will overflow the hiding place.

18Your covenant with death shall be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand. When the overflowing scourge passes through, then you will be trampled down by it.
