¹⁰ “Now I will rise up,”^(A) says the Lord.
“Now I will lift myself up.
Now I will be exalted.
¹¹ You will conceive chaff;^(B)
you will give birth to stubble.
Your breath is fire that will consume you.
¹² The peoples will be burned to ashes,
like thorns cut down and burned in a fire.
¹³ You who are far off, hear what I have done;
you who are near,^(C) know my strength.”
¹⁴ The sinners in Zion are afraid;
trembling seizes the ungodly:
“Who among us can dwell with a consuming fire?^(D)
Who among us can dwell with ever-burning flames?”^(E)
15 The one who lives righteously
and speaks rightly,^(F)
who refuses profit from extortion,
whose hand never takes a bribe,
who stops his ears from listening to murderous plots
and shuts his eyes against evil schemes^(G)—
¹⁶ he will dwell on the heights;
his refuge will be the rocky fortresses,
his food provided, his water assured.
