Isaiah 33:14-16
Easy-to-Read Version
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid. Those who do wrong shake with fear. They say, “Can any of us live through this fire that destroys? Who can live near this fire that burns forever?”[a]
15 Good, honest people who refuse to hurt others for money will live through that fire. They refuse to take bribes or listen to plans to murder other people. They refuse to look at plans for doing bad things. 16 They will live safely in high places. They will be protected in high rock fortresses. They will always have food and water.

Isaiah 33:14-16
New International Version
14 The sinners(A) in Zion are terrified;
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.
