But I will tell you what is written in the Scripture of Truth. (And no one holds strong with me in these things, except Michael your ruler.

Have you not even read this Scripture: The stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner;

He who believes into Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.

Men and brethren, this Scripture needed to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who took Jesus;

All Scripture is breathed by God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,

knowing this first, that not any of the prophecies of Scripture came into being from personal exposition,

as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the unlearned and unstable twist, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.

Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious,

Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I have founded in Zion a Stone, a tried Stone, a precious Cornerstone, a sure Foundation; he who trusts in It shall not be anxious.

From Him came the cornerstone, from Him the nail, from Him the battle bow, and from Him every ruler together.

Why? Because it was not by faith, but as out of works of the Law. For they stumbled at the stumbling stone.

As it is written: Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, and everyone believing on Him will not be put to shame.

Then You spoke in a vision to Your holy one, and said: I have placed help upon a mighty one; I have exalted a chosen one out of the people.

Behold My Servant, whom I uphold; My Elect, in whom My soul delights. I have put My Spirit upon Him; He shall bring forth justice to the nations.

Behold, My Servant whom I have chosen, My Beloved in whom My soul is well pleased! I will put My Spirit upon Him, and He will declare judgment to the Gentiles.

And the people stood looking on. Moreover the rulers with them sneered, saying, He saved others; let Him save Himself if He is the Christ, the chosen of God.

just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blemish before Him in love,

Let them be ashamed and abashed together, those who seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to dishonor, those who wish me evil.

Behold, all those who were enraged against you shall be ashamed and disgraced; they shall be as nothing. And those who strive with you shall perish.

They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them; they who are makers of idols shall go into disgrace together.

But Israel shall be saved in Jehovah with an everlasting salvation. You shall not be ashamed nor humiliated to everlasting eternity.

For the Lord Jehovah will help Me; therefore I have not been ashamed. Therefore I have set My face like flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

Do not fear, for you shall not be ashamed; nor be humiliated, for you shall not be put to shame. For you shall forget the shame of your youth, and shall not remember the reproach of your widowhood any more.
