14 The sinners in Zion are afraid;

trembling seizes the ungodly:

“Who among us can dwell with a consuming fire?w

Who among us can dwell with ever-burning flames?”*

15 The one who lives righteously

and speaks rightly,x

who refuses profit from extortion,

whose hand never takes a bribe,

who stops his ears from listening to murderous plots

and shuts his eyes against evil schemesa—

16 he will dwell on the heights;

his refuge will be the rocky fortresses,

his food provided, his water assured.
