What's Your Cornerstone?

Ephesians 2:19–22 KJV 1900

19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God; 20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

Isaiah 1:1–4 KJV 1900

1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah. 2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth: For the Lord hath spoken, I have nourished and brought up children, And they have rebelled against me. 3 The ox knoweth his owner, And the ass his master’s crib: But Israel doth not know, My people doth not consider. 4 Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, A seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: They have forsaken the Lord, They have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, They are gone away backward.

Isaiah 1:5–6 KJV 1900

5 Why should ye be stricken any more? Ye will revolt more and more: The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. 6 From the sole of the foot even unto the head there is no soundness in it; But wounds, and bruises, and putrifying sores: They have not been closed, neither bound up, neither mollified with ointment.

Isaiah 1:7–9 KJV 1900

7 Your country is desolate, Your cities are burned with fire: Your land, strangers devour it in your presence, And it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers. 8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, As a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, As a besieged city. 9 Except the Lord of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, We should have been as Sodom, And we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

Isaiah 1:10 KJV 1900

10 Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of Sodom; Give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.

Isaiah 1:11–14 KJV 1900

11 To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me? saith the Lord: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; And I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats. 12 When ye come to appear before me, Who hath required this at your hand, to tread my courts? 13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; The new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; It is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. 14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hateth: They are a trouble unto me; I am weary to bear them.

Isaiah 1:15 KJV 1900

15 And when ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you: Yea, when ye make many prayers, I will not hear: Your hands are full of blood.

Isaiah 1:16–17 KJV 1900

16 Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; 17 Learn to do well; Seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.

Isaiah 1:18–20 KJV 1900

18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; Though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. 19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: 20 But if ye refuse and rebel, Ye shall be devoured with the sword: For the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

Isaiah 9:8–10 KJV 1900

8 The Lord sent a word into Jacob, And it hath lighted upon Israel. 9 And all the people shall know, Even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, That say in the pride and stoutness of heart, 10 The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: The sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars.

Isaiah 9:11–14 KJV 1900

11 Therefore the Lord shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, And join his enemies together; 12 The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; And they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not turned away, But his hand is stretched out still. 13 For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, Neither do they seek the Lord of hosts. 14 Therefore the Lord will cut off from Israel head and tail, Branch and rush, in one day.

John 21:15 KJV 1900

15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.
