Isaiah 33:13–17

Hear, you who are far off, what I have done;

and you who are near, acknowledge my might.

The sinners in Zion are afraid;

trembling has seized the godless:

“Who among us can dwell with the consuming fire?

Who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?”

He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly,

who despises the gain of oppressions,

who shakes his hands, lest they hold a bribe,

who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed

and shuts his eyes from looking on evil,

he will dwell on the heights;

his place of defense will be the fortresses of rocks;

his bread will be given him; his water will be sure.

Your eyes will behold the king in his beauty;

they will see a land that stretches afar.

You who are far away, hear what I have done;

you who are near, acknowledge my power!

The sinners in Zion are terrified;

trembling grips the godless:

“Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire?

Who of us can dwell with everlasting burning?”

Those who walk righteously

and speak what is right,

who reject gain from extortion

and keep their hands from accepting bribes,

who stop their ears against plots of murder

and shut their eyes against contemplating evil—

they are the ones who will dwell on the heights,

whose refuge will be the mountain fortress.

Their bread will be supplied,

and water will not fail them.

Your eyes will see the king in his beauty

and view a land that stretches afar.

Listen to what I have done, you nations far away!

And you that are near, acknowledge my might!”

The sinners in Jerusalem shake with fear.

Terror seizes the godless.

“Who can live with this devouring fire?” they cry.

“Who can survive this all-consuming fire?”

Those who are honest and fair,

who refuse to profit by fraud,

who stay far away from bribes,

who refuse to listen to those who plot murder,

who shut their eyes to all enticement to do wrong—

these are the ones who will dwell on high.

The rocks of the mountains will be their fortress.

Food will be supplied to them,

and they will have water in abundance.

Your eyes will see the king in all his splendor,

and you will see a land that stretches into the distance.

You who are far away, hear what I have done;

and you who are near, know my might!”

Sinners are afraid in Zion;

trembling has seized the godless:

“Who of us can live with devouring fire?

Who of us can live with everlasting consuming hearths?”

He who walks in righteousness

and speaks uprightness,

who rejects the gain of extortion,

who refuses a bribe,

who stops up his ears from hearing bloodshed

and shuts his eyes from seeing evil.

That one will live on the heights;

the fortresses of rocks will be his refuge.

His food will be given;

his waters will endure.

Your eyes will see the king in his beauty;

they will see a distant land.

Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done;

And, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.

The sinners in Zion are afraid;

Fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites.

Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?

Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly;

He that despiseth the gain of oppressions,

That shaketh his hands from holding of bribes,

That stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood,

And shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

He shall dwell on high:

His place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks:

Bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty:

They shall behold the land that is very far off.
