¹⁰ Eternal One: Now’s the time for action. I will arise.
        People will esteem Me and recognize My greatness.
¹¹     For you have produced nothing but chaff and worthless stubble.
        Your breath is a fire that will sweep back and consume you.
¹²     Your people will be burned to ashes
        like thornbushes cut down and burned up in the fire.
¹³     Listen well, wherever you are; make sure you know
        that I have accomplished this.
    Near and far, you’d better take note of My incomparable strength.

¹⁴ Those who do wrong, the guilty and criminal in Zion, are terrified;
    in the presence and power of God, the godless tremble.
They ask themselves,
    “Who could possibly survive this all-consuming conflagration?
Who can live through the unrelenting heat, the flames, the smoke?”
¹⁵ I will tell you who: the one who goes through life with integrity and
    speaks truth with conviction, refusing to take part in fraud and abuse,
Whose hands are free of bribes, whose ears are covered to violent schemes,
    and whose eyes are shut to the temptations of evil.
¹⁶ That one will survive and prosper on the heights of Zion
    and take comfort in the shelter of rock fortresses,
And never be hungry, never thirsty.
