14The sinnersw in Zion are terrified;

tremblingx grips the godless:

“Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire?y

Who of us can dwell with everlasting burning?”

15Those who walk righteouslyz

and speak what is right,a

who reject gain from extortionb

and keep their hands from accepting bribes,c

who stop their ears against plots of murder

and shut their eyesd against contemplating evil—

16they are the ones who will dwell on the heights,e

whose refugef will be the mountain fortress.g

Their bread will be supplied,

and water will not failh them.

In other versions

ESVEnglish Standard Version

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.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

The sinners in Zion are afraid;

trembling seizes the ungodly:

“Who among us can dwell with a consuming fire?

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

The one who lives righteously

and speaks rightly,

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 schemes —

he will dwell on the heights;

his refuge will be the rocky fortresses,

his food provided, his water assured.

NLTNew Living Translation

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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

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.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.
