14 Sinners became terrified in Zion;
    trembling seized the godless:
        “Who among us can live with the devouring fire?
        Who among us can live with the everlasting blaze?”
15 The one who walks righteously and speaks truthfully,
    who rejects profit from extortion,
    who waves away a bribe instead of grabbing it,
    who won’t listen to bloody plots,
    and who won’t contemplate doing something evil.
16 He will live on the heights;
    fortresses in the cliffs will be his refuge.
His food will be provided,
    his water guaranteed.

    trembling(B) grips the godless:
“Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire?(C)
    Who of us can dwell with everlasting burning?”
15 Those who walk righteously(D)
    and speak what is right,(E)
who reject gain from extortion(F)
    and keep their hands from accepting bribes,(G)
who stop their ears against plots of murder
    and shut their eyes(H) against contemplating evil—
16 they are the ones who will dwell on the heights,(I)
    whose refuge(J) will be the mountain fortress.(K)
Their bread will be supplied,
    and water will not fail(L) them.
