14 The sinners(A) in Zion are terrified;
    trembling(B) grips the godless:
“Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire?(C)

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)

    and water will not fail(L) them.
