Daniel 8:25 (New King James Version)

²⁵ “ Through his cunning
      He shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule;^[a]
      And he shall exalt himself in his heart.
      He shall destroy many in their prosperity.
      He shall even rise against the Prince of princes;
      But he shall be broken without human means.<sup>[b]




Isaiah 28


15 Because you have said, “We have made a covenant with death,
      And with Sheol we are in agreement.
      When the overflowing scourge passes through,
      It will not come to us,
      For we have made lies our refuge,
      And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves.”</sup>

A Cornerstone in Zion

¹⁶ Therefore thus says the Lord GOD:
      “ Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation,
      A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation;
      Whoever believes will not act hastily.
       ¹⁷ Also I will make justice the measuring line,
      And righteousness the plummet;
      The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies,
      And the waters will overflow the hiding place.
       ¹⁸ Your covenant with death will be annulled,
      And your agreement with Sheol will not stand;
      When the overflowing scourge passes through,
      Then you will be trampled down by it.
