Isaiah 33:10-16
New American Standard Bible
10 “Now (A)I will arise,” says the Lord,
“Now I will be exalted, now I will be lifted up.
11 You have (B)conceived [a]chaff, you will give birth to stubble;
[b]My (C)breath will consume you like a fire.
12 The peoples will be burned to lime,
(D)Like cut thorns which are burned in the fire.
13 “You who are far away, (E)hear what I have done;
And you who are near, [c]acknowledge My might.”
14 (F)Sinners in Zion are terrified;
(G)Trembling has seized the godless.
“Who among us can live with (H)the consuming fire?
Who among us can live with everlasting (I)burning?”
15 One who (J)walks righteously and speaks with integrity,
One who rejects [d]unjust gain
And shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe;
One who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed
And (K)shuts his eyes from looking at evil;
16 He will dwell on the heights,
(L)His refuge will be the [e]impregnable rock;
(M)His bread will be given him,
His water will be sure.

New Living Translation
10 But the Lord says: “Now I will stand up.
Now I will show my power and might.
11 You Assyrians produce nothing but dry grass and stubble.
Your own breath will turn to fire and consume you.
12 Your people will be burned up completely,
like thornbushes cut down and tossed in a fire.
13 Listen to what I have done, you nations far away!
And you that are near, acknowledge my might!”
14 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?”
15 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—
16 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.
