Bible verses about "masons" | BBE

²² The stone which the builders put on one side has become the chief stone of the building.

¹ And the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ² Son of man, give out a dark saying, and make a comparison for the children of Israel, ³ And say, This is what the Lord has said: A great eagle with great wings, full of long feathers of different colours, came to Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar: ⁴ Biting off the highest of its young branches, he took it to the land of Canaan, and put it in a town of traders. ⁵ And he took some of the seed of the land, planting it in fertile earth, placing it by great waters; he put it in like a willow-tree. ⁶ And its growth went on and it became a vine, low and widely stretching, whose branches were turned to him and its roots were under him: so it became a vine, putting out branches and young leaves. ⁷ And there was another eagle with great wings and thick feathers: and now this vine, pushing out its roots to him, sent out its branches in his direction from the bed where it was planted, so that he might give it water. ⁸ He had it planted in a good field by great waters so that it might put out branches and have fruit and be a strong vine. ⁹ Say, This is what the Lord has said: Will it do well? will he not have its roots pulled up and its branches cut off, so that all its young leaves may become dry and it may be pulled up by its roots? ¹⁰ And if it is planted will it do well? will it not become quite dry at the touch of the east wind, drying up in the bed where it was planted? ¹¹ Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, ¹² Say now to this uncontrolled people, Are these things not clear to you? Say to them, See, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and took its king and its rulers away with him to Babylon; ¹³ And he took one of the sons of the king and made an agreement with him; and he put him under an oath, and took away the great men of the land: ¹⁴ So that the kingdom might be made low with no power of lifting itself up, but might keep his agreement to be his servants. ¹⁵ But he went against his authority in sending representatives to Egypt to get from them horses and a great army. Will he do well? will he be safe who does such things? if the agreement is broken will he be safe? ¹⁶ By my life, says the Lord, truly in the place of the king who made him king, whose oath he put on one side and let his agreement with him be broken, even in Babylon he will come to his death.

³⁴ But I say to you, Take no oaths at all: not by the heaven, because it is the seat of God; ³⁵ Or by the earth, because it is the resting-place for his foot; or by Jerusalem, because it is the town of the great King. ³⁶ You may not take an oath by your head, because you are not able to make one hair white or black. ³⁷ But let your words be simply, Yes or No: and whatever is more than these is of the Evil One.

⁶ I am surprised that you are being so quickly turned away from him whose word came to you in the grace of Christ, to good news of a different sort; ⁷ Which is not another sort: only there are some who give you trouble, desiring to make changes in the good news of Christ. ⁸ But even if we, or an angel from heaven, were to be a preacher to you of good news other than that which we have given you, let there be a curse on him. ⁹ As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man is a preacher to you of any good news other than that which has been given to you, let there be a curse on him.
