11 You will conceive chaff; 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, know My strength.”
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid;trembling seizes the ungodly:“Who among us can dwell with a consuming fire? Who among us can dwell with ever-burning flames? ”
15 The one who lives righteouslyand speaks rightly, who refuses gain from extortion,whose hand never takes a bribe,who stops his ears from listening to murderous plots and shuts his eyes to avoid endorsing evil —
16 he will dwell on the heights;his refuge will be the rocky fortresses,his food provided, his water assured.
17 Your eyes will see the King in His beauty; you will see a vast land.
