Isaiah 33:15-16
New English Translation
15 The one who lives[a] uprightly[b]
and speaks honestly;
the one who refuses to profit from oppressive measures
and rejects a bribe;[c]
the one who does not plot violent crimes[d]
and does not seek to harm others[e]—
16 this is the person who will live in a secure place;[f]
he will find safety in the rocky, mountain strongholds;[g]
he will have food
and a constant supply of water.

Isaiah 33:15-16
King James Version
15 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;
16 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.
