Isaiah 33:10-16
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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?”
15 The one who lives righteously
and speaks rightly,(E)
who refuses gain from extortion,
whose hand never takes a bribe,
who stops his ears from listening to murderous plots[a]
and shuts his eyes to avoid endorsing evil[b](F)—
16 he will dwell on the heights;
his refuge will be the rocky fortresses,
his food provided, his water assured.

Isaiah 33:10-16
International Standard Version
God is Exalted
10 “Now I’ll rise up,” the Lord has said,[a]
“now I’ll exalt myself;
now I’ll be lifted up.
11 You conceive dried grass, you give birth to stubble;
your breath is a fire that will consume you.
12 And the peoples will be burned as if to ashes;
like cut thorn bushes, they will be set ablaze.
13 “Those who are far away have heard[b] what I’ve done;
and those that are near have acknowledged[c] my power.
14 The sinners in Zion are terrified;
trembling grips the godless:
“Who among us can live with the consuming fire?
Who among us can live with everlasting flames?”
15 The one who walks righteously and has spoken[d] sincere words,
who rejects gain from extortion
and waves his hand,
rejecting bribes,
who blocks his ears from hearing plots of murder
and shuts his eyes against seeing evil—
16 this is the one who will live on the heights;
his refuge will be a mountain fortress.
His food will be supplied,
and his water will be guaranteed.
