Isaiah 33:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ this is the kind of person who will ·be safe [^Ldwell on high/the heights].
    He will ·be protected as he would be [find refuge] in a ·high, walled city [rock stronghold/fortress].
He will always have ·bread [food],
    and he will not run out of water.
¹⁷ Your eyes will see the king in his ·beauty [splendor].
    You will see the land that stretches far away.
¹⁸ ·You [^LYour heart] will ·think about the terror of the past [^Lmeditate on terror]:
    “Where is that ·officer [scribe; taxation officer; ^Lcounter]?
    Where is the ·one who collected the taxes [^Lweigher]?
    Where is the ·officer in charge of our defense towers [one who counts the towers; ^Cfor taxation purposes]?”
