Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

The verse 16 is found in chapter 28 of Isaiah. Jerusalem’s leaders believe they have made a covenant with death, but Isaiah presents the stone laid in Zion as a secure foundation. The architect metaphor contrasts with the false security of human agreements. The “strange work” of divine action demonstrates that God is not limited by the strategic expectations of its rulers.

Darum spricht der Herr, HERR: Siehe, ich lege in Zion einen Grundstein, einen bewährten Stein, einen köstlichen Eckstein, der wohl gegründet ist. Wer glaubt, der flieht nicht.
Por tanto, el Señor Jehová dice así: He aquí que yo fundo en Sion una piedra, piedra de fortaleza, de esquina, de precio, de cimiento estable: el que creyere, no se apresure.
Por eso, así dice el Señor Jehová: «Miren, pongo en Sión una piedra por fundamento, una piedra probada, angular, preciosa, de cimiento firme. El que cree no se apresurará.
C'est pourquoi ainsi parle le Seigneur, l'Eternel: Voici, j'ai mis pour fondement en Sion une pierre, Une pierre éprouvée, une pierre angulaire de prix, solidement posée; Celui qui la prendra pour appui n'aura point hâte de fuir.
perciò, così ha detto il Signore Iddio: Ecco, io son quel che ho posta in Sion una pietra, una pietra a prova, pietra di cantone preziosa, un fondamento ben fondato; chi crederà non si smarrirà.
Portanto assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Eis que eu assentei em Sião uma pedra, uma pedra já provada, pedra preciosa de esquina, que está bem firme e fundada; aquele que crer não se apresse.
所以,主耶和華如此說: 「看哪,我在 錫安 放一塊石頭作為根基, 是衡量的石頭, 是寶貴的房角石,穩固的根基; 信靠他的人必不致驚恐。
