13 You who are far away,(I) hear(J) what I have done;

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—

    whose refuge(T) will be the mountain fortress.(U)
Their bread will be supplied,
    and water will not fail(V) them.

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.
