^x“Behold, I am laying in Zion ^ya stone of stumbling, and a rock of offense;

^x“A stone of stumbling,

and a rock of offense.”

16  therefore thus says the Lord God,

^r“Behold, I am the one who has laid¹ as a foundation ^sin Zion,

a stone, a tested stone,

a precious cornerstone, of a sure foundation:

‘Whoever believes will not be in haste.’
