This might be a good quote to use if you are planning a more exegetical type of essay (rather than a creative essay).
You could explore how this is a foreshadowing of Christ. The "cornerstone" is also mentioned in Isaiah 28:16, which is a book filled with prophecy. http://www.usccb.org/bible/is/28:16#29028016
If you decide to do this kind of research essay, be sure to show the continuity through the New Testament. Remember that the Old Testament is a revelation of the New Testament and the New Testament is a fulfilling of the Old Testament http://www.uscatholic.org/articles/201402/what-relationship-between-old-and-new-testaments-28454
