Isaiah 28:16 in Context — Isaiah 28
14 Portanto ouvi a palavra do SENHOR, vós homens escarnecedores, dominadores deste povo, que está em Jerusalém;
15 Pois dizeis: Fizemos um pacto com a morte, e com o Xeol fizemos um acordo: quando passar a abundância de açoites, não chegará a nós; pois pusemos a mentira como nosso refúgio, e sob a falsidade nos escondemos.
16 Por isso, assim diz o Senhor DEUS: Eis que eu fundo em Sião uma pedra; uma pedra provada, pedra preciosa de esquina, firmemente fundada; quem crer, não precisará fugir às pressas.
17 E porei o juízo como linha de medida, e a justiça como prumo; o granizo varrerá o refúgio da mentira, e as águas inundarão o esconderijo;
18 E vosso pacto com a morte se anulará, e vosso acordo com o Xeol não será cumprido; e quando a abundância de açoites passar, então por ela sereis esmagados.
