The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken,

ISA 28:14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that
rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
ISA 28:15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and
with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass
through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge,
and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
ISA 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for
a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure
foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
