Isaiah 33:14-16

New International Reader's Version

¹⁴ The sinners in Zion are terrified.
    They tremble with fear.
They say, ‘Who of us can live through the Lord’s destroying fire?
    Who of us can live through the fire that burns forever?’
¹⁵ People must do what is right.
    They must be honest and tell the truth.
They must not get rich by cheating others.
    Their hands must not receive money from those who want special favors.
They must not let their ears listen to plans to commit murder.
    They must close their eyes to even thinking about doing what is evil.
¹⁶ People like that will be kept safe.
    It will be as if they were living on high mountains.
    It will be as if they were living in a mountain fort.
They will have all the food they need.
    And they will never run out of water.”
