Bible verses about "masons" | YLT

²² A stone the builders refused Hath become head of a corner.

¹ And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, ² `Son of man, put forth a riddle, and use a simile unto the house of Israel, <sup>3</sup> and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: The great eagle, great-winged, long-pinioned, Full of feathers, that hath diverse colours, Hath come in unto Lebanon, And it taketh the foliage of the cedar, <sup>4</sup> The top of its tender twigs it hath cropped, And it bringeth it in to the land of Canaan. In a city of merchants it hath placed it. <sup>5</sup> And it taketh of the seed of the land, And doth put it in a field of seed, To take by many waters, In a conspicuous place it hath set it. <sup>6</sup> And it springeth up, and becometh a spreading vine, humble of stature, To turn its thin shoots toward itself, And its roots are under it, And it becometh a vine, and maketh boughs, And sendeth forth beauteous branches. <sup>7</sup> And there is another great eagle, Great-winged, and abounding with feathers, And lo, this vine hath bent its roots toward him, And its thin shoots it hath sent out toward him, To water it from the furrows of its planting, <sup>8</sup> On a good field, by many waters, it is planted, To make branches, and to bear fruit, To be for an goodly vine. <sup>9</sup> Say: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: It prospereth—its roots doth he not draw out, And its fruit cut off, and it is withered? In all the leaves of its springing it withereth, And not by great strength, and by a numerous people, To lift it up by its roots. <sup>10</sup> And lo, the planted thing—doth it prosper? When come against it doth the east wind, Doth it not utterly wither? On the furrows of its springing it withereth.' <sup>11</sup> And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying: <sup>12</sup> `Say, I pray thee, to the rebellious house, Have ye not known what these are ? Say, Lo, come hath the king of Babylon to Jerusalem, And he taketh its king, and its princes, And bringeth them to himself to Babylon. ¹³ And he taketh of the seed of the kingdom, And maketh with him a covenant, And bringeth him in to an oath, And the mighty of the land he hath taken, ¹⁴ That the kingdom may be humble, That it may not lift itself up, To keep his covenant—that it may stand. ¹⁵ And he rebelleth against him, To send his messengers to Egypt, To give to him horses, and much people, Doth he prosper? doth he escape who is doing these things? And hath he broken covenant and escaped? ¹⁶ I live—an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, Doth he not—in the place of the king who is causing him to reign, Whose oath he hath despised, And whose covenant he hath broken, With him—in the midst of Babylon—die?

³⁴ but I—I say to you, not to swear at all; neither by the heaven, because it is the throne of God, ³⁵ nor by the earth, because it is His footstool, nor by Jerusalem, because it is a city of a great king, ³⁶ nor by thy head mayest thou swear, because thou art not able one hair to make white or black; ³⁷ but let your word be, Yes, Yes, No, No, and that which is more than these is of the evil.

⁶ I wonder that ye are so quickly removed from Him who did call you in the grace of Christ to another good news; ⁷ that is not another, except there be certain who are troubling you, and wishing to pervert the good news of the Christ; ⁸ but even if we or a messenger out of heaven may proclaim good news to you different from what we did proclaim to you—anathema let him be! ⁹ as we have said before, and now say again, If any one to you may proclaim good news different from what ye did receive—anathema let him be!

¹ Beloved, every spirit believe not, but prove the spirits, if of God they are, because many false prophets have gone forth to the world;

³ and every spirit that doth not confess Jesus Christ in the flesh having come, of God it is not; and this is that of the antichrist, which ye heard that it doth come, and now in the world it is already.
