10 Now will I [a]arise, saith the Lord: now will I be exalted, now will I lift up myself.

11 [b]Ye shall conceive chaff, and bring forth stubble: the fire of your breath shall devour you.

12 And the people shall be as the burning of lime: and as the thorns cut up, shall they be burnt in the fire.

13 Hear, ye that are [c]far off, what I have done, and ye that are near, know my power.

14 The [d]sinners in Zion are afraid: a fear is come upon the hypocrites: who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with the everlasting burnings?

15 He that walketh in justice, and speaketh righteous things, refusing gain of oppression, shaking his hands from taking of gifts, stopping his ears from hearing of blood, and shutting his eyes from seeing evil,

16 He shall dwell on [e]high: his defense shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him, and his waters shall be sure.
