14 The sinners in Zion are terrified;
    trembling grips the godless:
“Who among us can live with the consuming fire?
    Who among us can live with everlasting flames?”
15 The one who walks righteously and has spoken[a] sincere words,
    who rejects gain from extortion
and waves his hand,
    rejecting bribes,
    who blocks his ears from hearing plots of murder
        and shuts his eyes against seeing evil—
16 this is the one who will live on the heights;
    his refuge will be a mountain fortress.
His food will be supplied,
    and his water will be guaranteed.
