The Chosen Stone and His Chosen People
a“Behold, I lay in Zion
A chief cornerstone, elect, precious,
And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”
a“The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone,”
a“A stone of stumbling
And a rock of offense.” bThey stumble, being disobedient to the word, cto which they also were appointed.
