14 The sinners in Zion are filled with terror;
    trembling has seized the godless.
“Can any of us survive the devouring fire?
    Can any of us survive the everlasting flames?”
15 Those who walk righteously and speak honestly,
    who refuse to enrich themselves by extortion,
who reject any bribes offered to them
    and stop their ears from listening to plans for murder
    and shut their eyes from looking on evil—
16 these people will dwell on the heights;
    their refuge will be rocky cliffs,
where they will have an abundance of food and water.

14 The sinners(A) in Zion are terrified;
    trembling(B) grips the godless:

    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.
