Isaiah 33:10-16
New English Translation
10 “Now I will rise up,” says the Lord.
“Now I will exalt myself;
now I will magnify myself.[a]
11 You conceive straw,[b]
you give birth to chaff;
your breath is a fire that destroys you.[c]
12 The nations will be burned to ashes;[d]
like thorn bushes that have been cut down, they will be set on fire.
13 You who are far away, listen to what I have done!
You who are close by, recognize my strength.”
14 Sinners are afraid in Zion;
panic[e] grips the godless.[f]
They say,[g] “Who among us can coexist with destructive fire?
Who among us can coexist with unquenchable[h] fire?”
15 The one who lives[i] uprightly[j]
and speaks honestly;
the one who refuses to profit from oppressive measures
and rejects a bribe;[k]
the one who does not plot violent crimes[l]
and does not seek to harm others[m]—
16 this is the person who will live in a secure place;[n]
he will find safety in the rocky, mountain strongholds;[o]
he will have food
and a constant supply of water.

Isaiah 33:10-16
International Standard Version
God is Exalted
10 “Now I’ll rise up,” the Lord has said,[a]
“now I’ll exalt myself;
now I’ll be lifted up.
11 You conceive dried grass, you give birth to stubble;
your breath is a fire that will consume you.
12 And the peoples will be burned as if to ashes;
like cut thorn bushes, they will be set ablaze.
13 “Those who are far away have heard[b] what I’ve done;
and those that are near have acknowledged[c] my power.
14 The sinners in Zion are terrified;
trembling grips the godless:
“Who among us can live with the consuming fire?
Who among us can live with everlasting flames?”
15 The one who walks righteously and has spoken[d] sincere words,
who rejects gain from extortion
and waves his hand,
rejecting bribes,
who blocks his ears from hearing plots of murder
and shuts his eyes against seeing evil—
16 this is the one who will live on the heights;
his refuge will be a mountain fortress.
His food will be supplied,
and his water will be guaranteed.
