Isaiah 33:13–24

¹³Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and ye that are near, acknowledge my might. ¹⁴The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling hath surprised the hypocrites: Who among us shall dwell with the consuming fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting flames? ¹⁵—He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from taking hold of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil: ¹⁶he shall dwell on high, the fortresses of the rocks shall be his high retreat; bread shall be given him, his water shall be sure. ¹⁷Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty; they shall behold the land that is far off. ¹⁸Thy heart shall meditate on terror: Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers? ¹⁹Thou shalt no more see the fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst comprehend, of a stammering tongue that cannot be understood. ²⁰Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be pulled up, neither shall any of its cords be broken; ²¹but there Jehovah is unto us glorious, —a place of rivers, of broad streams: no galley with oars shall go there, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby. ²²For Jehovah is our judge, Jehovah, our lawgiver, Jehovah, our king: he will save us. ²³Thy tacklings are loosed; they strengthen not the socket of their mast, they cannot spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey. ²⁴And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
