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.

  1. 33.11 Cn: Heb your breath

10 (A)“Now I will arise,” says the Lord,
    “now I will lift myself up;
    now I will be exalted.
11 (B)You conceive chaff; you give birth to stubble;
    your breath is (C)a fire that will consume you.
12 And the peoples will be as if burned to lime,
    (D)like thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire.”

13 Hear, you who are far off, what I have done;
    and you who are near, acknowledge my might.
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid;
    trembling has seized the godless:
(E)“Who among us can dwell (F)with the consuming fire?
    Who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?”
15 (G)He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly,
    who despises the gain of oppressions,
who shakes his hands, lest they hold a bribe,
    who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed
    (H)and shuts his eyes from looking on evil,
16 he will dwell on the heights;
    his place of defense will be the fortresses of rocks;
    (I)his bread will be given him; his water will be sure.
