Isaiah 33:10-16

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁰ “Now I will arise,” says the Lord,
    “now I will lift myself up;
    now I will be exalted.
¹¹ You conceive chaff; you bring forth stubble;
    wind like a fire^[a] will consume you.
¹² And the peoples will be as if burned to lime,
    like thorns cut down that are burned in the fire.”

¹³ Hear, you who are far away, what I have done,
    and you who are near, acknowledge my might.
¹⁴ The sinners in Zion are afraid;
    trembling has seized the godless:
“Who among us can live with the devouring fire?
    Who among us can live with everlasting flames?”
¹⁵ Those who walk righteously and speak uprightly,
    who despise the gain of oppression,
who wave away a bribe instead of accepting it,
    who stop their ears from hearing of bloodshed
    and shut their eyes from looking on evil,
¹⁶ they will live on the heights;
    their refuge will be the fortresses of rocks;
    their food will be supplied, their water assured.
