Isaiah 33:10-16
New King James Version
Impending Judgment on Zion
10 “Now(A) I will rise,” says the Lord;
“Now I will be exalted,
Now I will lift Myself up.
11 (B)You shall conceive chaff,
You shall bring forth stubble;
Your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
12 And the people shall be like the burnings of lime;
(C)Like thorns cut up they shall be burned in the fire.
13 Hear, (D)you who are afar off, what I have done;
And you who are near, acknowledge My might.”
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid;
Fearfulness has seized the hypocrites:
“Who among us shall dwell with the devouring (E)fire?
Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?”
15 He who (F)walks righteously and speaks uprightly,
He who despises the gain of oppressions,
Who gestures with his hands, refusing bribes,
Who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed,
And (G)shuts his eyes from seeing evil:
16 He will dwell on [a]high;
His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks;
Bread will be given him,
His water will be sure.

Authorized (King James) Version
10 Now will I rise, saith the Lord;
now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
11 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble:
your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
12 And the people shall be as the burnings of lime:
as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
13 Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done;
and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
14 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?
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.

New International Version
Isaiah 33:10-16
New International Version
10 “Now will I arise,(A)” says the Lord.
“Now will I be exalted;(B)
now will I be lifted up.
11 You conceive(C) chaff,
you give birth(D) to straw;
your breath is a fire(E) that consumes you.
12 The peoples will be burned to ashes;(F)
like cut thornbushes(G) they will be set ablaze.(H)”
13 You who are far away,(I) hear(J) what I have done;
you who are near, acknowledge my power!
14 The sinners(K) in Zion are terrified;
trembling(L) grips the godless:
“Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire?(M)
Who of us can dwell with everlasting burning?”
15 Those who walk righteously(N)
and speak what is right,(O)
who reject gain from extortion(P)
and keep their hands from accepting bribes,(Q)
who stop their ears against plots of murder
and shut their eyes(R) against contemplating evil—
16 they are the ones who will dwell on the heights,(S)
whose refuge(T) will be the mountain fortress.(U)
Their bread will be supplied,
and water will not fail(V) them.
