¹⁴The sinners in Sion are afraid, trembling hath seized upon the hypocrites. Which of you can dwell with devouring fire? which of you shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

¹⁵He that walketh in justices, and speaketh truth, that casteth away avarice by oppression, and shaketh his hands from all bribes, that stoppeth his ears lest he hear blood, and shutteth his eyes that he may see no evil.

¹⁶He shall dwell on high, the fortifications of rocks shall be his highness: bread is given him, his waters are sure.

¹⁷His eyes shall see the king in his beauty, they shall see the land far off.

¹⁸Thy heart shall meditate fear: where is the learned? where is he that pondered the words of the law? where is the teacher of little ones?

¹⁹The shameless people thou shalt not see, the people of profound speech: so that thou canst not understand the eloquence of his tongue, in whom there is no wisdom.

²⁰Look upon Sion the city of our solemnity: thy eyes shall see Jerusalem, a rich habitation, a tabernacle that cannot be removed: neither shall the nails thereof be taken away for ever, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

²¹Because only there our Lord is magnificent: a place of rivers, very broad and spacious streams: no ship with oars shall pass by it, neither shall the great galley pass through it.

²²For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king: he will save us.

²³Thy tacklings are loosed, and they shall be of no strength: thy mast shall be in such condition, that thou shalt not be able to spread the flag. Then shall the spoils of much prey be divided: the lame shall take the spoil.

²⁴Neither shall he that is near, say: I am feeble. The people that dwell therein, shall have their iniquity taken away from them.
