Isaiah 33:10–18
10“Now I will arise,” says the LORD. “Now I will lift myself up. Now I will be exalted.↗
11You will conceive chaff. You will give birth to stubble. Your breath is a fire that will devour you.↗
12The peoples will be like the burning of lime, like thorns that are cut down and burned in the fire.↗
13Hear, you who are far off, what I have done; and, you who are near, acknowledge my might.”↗
14The sinners in Zion are afraid. Trembling has seized the godless ones. Who among us can live with the devouring fire? Who among us can live with everlasting burning?↗
15He who walks righteously and speaks blamelessly, he who despises the gain of oppressions, who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed, and shuts his eyes from looking at evil—↗
16he will dwell on high. His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks. His bread will be supplied. His waters will be sure.↗
17Your eyes will see the king in his beauty. They will see a distant land.↗
18Your heart will meditate on the terror. Where is he who counted? Where is he who weighed? Where is he who counted the towers?↗
