10 “Now I will arise,” says Yahweh.

“Now I will lift myself up proudly;

now I will raise myself.

11 You conceive dry grass, you bring forth stubble;

your breath is a fire; it will consume you.

12 And the peoples will be burning to lime—

they are burned like thorns that have been cut down in the fire.

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

and you who are near, know my might!”

14 Sinners are afraid in Zion;

trembling has seized the godless:

“Who of us can ⌊live⌋f with devouring fire?

Who of us can ⌊live⌋g with everlasting consuming hearths?”

15 He who walks in righteousness

and speaks uprightness,

who rejects the gain of extortion,

who ⌊refuses⌋h a bribe,

who stops up his earsi from hearing ⌊bloodshed⌋j

and shuts his eyes from seeing evil.

16 That one will live on the heights;

the fortresses of rocks will be his refuge.

His food will be given;

his watersk will endure.

17 Your eyes will see the king in his beauty;

they will see a ⌊distant land⌋.l

18 Your ⌊mind⌋m will meditate on the terror:

“Where is the one who counted?

Where is the one who weighed out?

Where is the one who counted the towers?”

19 You will not see the insolent people,

the people ⌊whose language is too obscure to understand⌋,n

whose stammering of tongue ⌊cannot be understood⌋.o

20 Look on Zion, the city of our appointed festivals!

Your eyes will see Jerusalem,

an undisturbed settlement,

a tent ⌊that is not moved⌋.p

No one will ever pull out its tent pegs,

and none of its ropes will be torn in two.

21 Rather, there Yahweh will be mighty for us,

a place of rivers and ⌊broad streams⌋,q

a galley ship withr oarss cannot go in it,

and a mighty ship cannot pass through it.

22 For Yahweh is our judge; Yahweh is our lawgiver.

Yahweh is our king; he is the one who will save us.

23 Your riggings hang slack;

they do not hold the base of their mast firm,

they do not spread out the sail.

Then the prey of spoil in abundance will be divided;

the lame will take plunder.

24 And no inhabitant will say, “I am sick”;

the people who live in it, their iniquity will be taken away.
