“See, I lay a stone in Zion,^(A) a tested stone,^(B)
    a precious cornerstone for a sure foundation;^(C)
the one who relies on it
    will never be stricken with panic.^(D)
17 I will make justice^(E) the measuring line
    and righteousness the plumb line;^(F)
hail^(G) will sweep away your refuge, the lie,
    and water will overflow^(H) your hiding place.
¹⁸ Your covenant with death will be annulled;
    your agreement with the realm of the dead will not stand.^(I)
When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by,^(J)
    you will be beaten down^(K) by it.
