14 The sinners in Zion are afraid;
    fearfulness has seized the hypocrites:
“Who among us can live with the continual fire?
    Who among us can live with everlasting burning?”
15 He who walks righteously
    and speaks uprightly,
he who rejects unjust gain
    and shakes his hands from holding bribes,
who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed,
    and shuts his eyes from seeing evil:
16 He shall dwell on high;
    his place of defense shall be the impregnable rock;
his bread shall be given him,
    his waters shall be sure.

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.
