10 “Now I will arise,” says Yahweh.
    “Now I will lift myself up.
    Now I will be exalted.
11 You will conceive chaff.
    You will give birth to stubble.
    Your breath is a fire that will devour you.
12 The peoples will be like the burning of lime,
    like thorns that are cut down and 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 ones.
Who among us can live with the devouring fire?
    Who among us can live with everlasting burning?
15 He who walks righteously
    and speaks blamelessly,
    he who despises the gain of oppressions,
    who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe,
    who stops his ears from hearing of blood,
    and shuts his eyes from looking at evil—
16 he will dwell on high.
    His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks.
    His bread will be supplied.
    His waters will be sure.

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.
