13 Hear what I have done, you who are far away;and you who are near, acknowledge My might.
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid;fearfulness has seized the hypocrites:“Who among us can live with the continual fire?Who among us can live with everlasting burning?”
15 He who walks righteouslyand speaks uprightly,he who rejects unjust gainand shakes his hands from holding bribes,who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed,and shuts his eyes from seeing evil:
16 He shall dwell on high;his place of defense shall be the impregnable rock;his bread shall be given him,his waters shall be sure.
17 Your eyes shall see the King in His beauty;they shall see the land that is very far away.
18 Your heart shall meditate on terror:“Where is he who counts?Where is he who weighs?Where is he who counts the towers?”
19 You shall not see a fierce people any more,a people of unintelligible speech which no one comprehends,of a stammering tongue which no one understands.
