The stone which the builders
refused is become the head stone
of the corner.
(Psalm 118:22), KJV
9And he said, Go, and tell
this people, Hear ye indeed, but
understand not; and see ye indeed,
but perceive not.
10Make the heart of this
people fat, and make their ears
heavy, and shut their eyes; lest
they see with their eyes, and hear
with their ears, and understand
with their heart, and convert, and
be healed.
(Isaiah 6:9,10)
KJV
Then I said, I have
laboured in vain, I have spent my
strength for nought, and in vain:
yet surely my judgment is with the
LORD, and my work with my God.
(Isaiah 49:4)
KJV
1 Thus saith the
LORD,
Where
is the
bill
of
your
mother's
divorcement,
whom I
have
put
away?
or
which
of my
creditors
is it
to
whom I
have
sold
you?
Behold,
for
your
iniquities
have
ye
sold
yourselves,
and
for
your
transgressions
is
your
mother
put
away.
2Wherefore,
when I
came,
was
there
no
man?
when I
called,
was
there
none
to
answer?
Is my
hand
shortened
at
all,
that
it
cannot
redeem?
or
have I
no
power
to
deliver?
behold,
at my
rebuke
I dry
up the
sea, I
make
the
rivers
a
wilderness:
their
fish
stinketh,
because
there
is no
water,
and
dieth
for
thirst.
3I
clothe
the
heavens
with
blackness,
and I
make
sackcloth
their
covering.
4The
Lord
GOD
hath
given
me the
tongue
of the
learned,
that I
should
know
how to
speak
a word
in
season
to him
that
is
weary:
he
wakeneth
morning
by
morning,
he
wakeneth
mine
ear to
hear
as the
learned.
5The
Lord
GOD
hath
opened
mine
ear,
and I
was
not
rebellious,
neither
turned
away
back.
6I
gave
my
back
to the
smiters,
and my
cheeks
to
them
that
plucked
off
the
hair:
I hid
not my
face
from
shame
and
spitting.
7For
the
Lord
GOD
will
help
me;
therefore
shall
I not
be
confounded:
therefore
have I
set my
face
like a
flint,
and I
know
that I
shall
not be
ashamed.
8He
is
near
that
justifieth
me;
who
will
contend
with
me?
let us
stand
together:
who is
mine
adversary?
let
him
come
near
to me.
9Behold, the
Lord
GOD
will
help
me;
who is
he
that
shall
condemn
me?
lo,
they
all
shall
wax
old as
a
garment;
the
moth
shall
eat
them
up.
10Who
is
among
you
that
feareth
the
LORD,
that
obeyeth
the
voice
of his
servant,
that
walketh
in
darkness,
and
hath
no
light?
let
him
trust
in the
name
of the
LORD,
and
stay
upon
his
God.
11Behold,
all ye
that
kindle
a
fire,
that
compass
yourselves
about
with
sparks:
walk
in the
light
of
your
fire,
and in
the
sparks
that
ye
have
kindled.
This
shall
ye
have
of
mine
hand;
ye
shall
lie
down
in
sorrow.
(Isaiah 50:1-11)
KJV
1Who hath believed
our
report?
and to
whom
is the
arm of
the
LORD
revealed?
2For
he
shall
grow
up
before
him as
a
tender
plant,
and as
a root
out of
a dry
ground:
he
hath
no
form
nor
comeliness;
and
when
we
shall
see
him,
there
is no
beauty
that
we
should
desire
him.
3He
is
despised
and
rejected
of
men; a
man of
sorrows,
and
acquainted
with
grief:
and we
hid as
it
were
our
faces
from
him;
he was
despised,
and we
esteemed
him
not.
4Surely
he
hath
borne
our
griefs,
and
carried
our
sorrows:
yet we
did
esteem
him
stricken,
smitten
of
God,
and
afflicted.
(Isaiah 53:1-4)
KJV
26And every one
that heareth these sayings of
mine, and doeth them not, shall be
likened unto a foolish man, which
built his house upon the sand:
27And
the rain descended, and the floods
came, and the winds blew, and beat
upon that house; and it fell: and
great was the fall of it.
(Matthew 7:26,27)
KJV
14If anyone will not welcome
you or listen to your words, shake
the dust off your feet when you
leave that home or town.
15I tell you the truth, it
will be more bearable for Sodom
and Gomorrah on the day of
judgment than for that town.
(Matthew 10:14,15), NIV
But whoever disowns me before men,
I will disown him before my Father
in heaven.
(Matthew 10:33), NIV
46And
why
call
ye me,
Lord,
Lord,
and do
not
the
things
which
I say?
47Whosoever
cometh
to me,
and
heareth
my
sayings,
and
doeth
them,
I will
shew
you to
whom
he is
like:
48He is
like a
man
which
built
an
house,
and
digged
deep,
and
laid
the
foundation
on a
rock:
and
when
the
flood
arose,
the
stream
beat
vehemently
upon
that
house,
and
could
not
shake
it:
for it
was
founded
upon a
rock.
49But he
that
heareth,
and
doeth
not,
is
like a
man
that
without
a
foundation
built
an
house
upon
the
earth;
against
which
the
stream
did
beat
vehemently,
and
immediately
it
fell;
and
the
ruin
of
that
house
was
great.
(Luke 6:46-49)
KJV
23He
that is not with me is against me:
and he that gathereth not with me
scattereth.
24When
the unclean spirit is gone out of
a man, he walketh through dry
places, seeking rest; and finding
none, he saith, I will return unto
my house whence I came out.
25And
when he cometh, he findeth it
swept and garnished.
26Then
goeth he, and taketh to him seven
other spirits more wicked than
himself; and they enter in, and
dwell there: and the last state of
that man is worse than the first.
(Luke 11:23-26)
KJV
To whom coming, as unto
a living stone, disallowed indeed
of men, but chosen of God, and
precious,
(1 Peter 2:4)
KJV
7Unto you therefore which
believe he is precious: but unto
them which be disobedient, the
stone which the builders
disallowed, the same is made the
head of the corner,
8And a stone of
stumbling, and a rock of offence,
even to them which stumble at the
word, being disobedient: whereunto
also they were appointed.
(1 Peter 2:7,8)
KJV
