28:16 Therefore, this is what the sovereign master, the Lord, says:
“Look, I am laying 1 a stone in Zion,
an approved 2 stone,
set in place as a precious cornerstone for the foundation. 3
The one who maintains his faith will not panic. 4
28:17 I will make justice the measuring line,
fairness the plumb line;
hail will sweep away the unreliable refuge, 5
the floodwaters will overwhelm the hiding place.
28:18 Your treaty with death will be dissolved; 6
your agreement 7 with Sheol will not last. 8
When the overwhelming judgment sweeps by, 9
you will be overrun by it. 10
