10 “Now kI will rise,” says the Lord;
“Now I will be exalted,
Now I will lift Myself up.
11 lYou shall conceive chaff,
You shall bring forth stubble;
Your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
12 And the people shall be like the burnings of lime;
mLike thorns cut up they shall be burned in the fire.
13 Hear, nyou who are afar off, what I have done;
And you who are near, acknowledge My might.”
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid;
Fearfulness has seized the hypocrites:
“Who among us shall dwell with the devouring ofire?
Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?”
15 He who pwalks righteously and speaks uprightly,
He who despises the gain of oppressions,
Who gestures with his hands, refusing bribes,
Who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed,
And qshuts his eyes from seeing evil:
16 He will dwell on 4high;
His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks;
Bread will be given him,
His water will be sure.

About The New King James VersionThe New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study. |
