Tested precious cornerstone in Zion

YHWH says:
"These people come near to me with their mouth
and honor me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from me.
Their worship of me
is made up only of rules taught by men.

Therefore once more I will astound these people
with wonder upon wonder;
the wisdom of the wise will perish,
the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish."

So this is what Sovereign YHWH says:
"See, I lay a stone in Zion,
a tested stone,
a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;
the one who trusts will never be dismayed.

I will make justice the measuring line
and righteousness the plumb line;

In that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll,
and out of gloom and darkness
the eyes of the blind will see.

Once more the humble will rejoice in YHWH;
the needy will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel."



Isaiah 29:13,14 28:16,17a, 29:18,19 NIV

[Yahweh, I rejoice and learn to trust your justice and righteousness]
