11. You shall conceive chaff,You shall bring forth stubble;Your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
12. And the people shall be like the burnings of lime;Like thorns cut up they shall be burned in the fire.
13. Hear, you who are afar off, what I have done;And you who are near, acknowledge My might.”
14. The sinners in Zion are afraid;Fearfulness has seized the hypocrites:“Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?”
15. He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly,He who despises the gain of oppressions,Who gestures with his hands, refusing bribes,Who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed,And shuts his eyes from seeing evil:
16. He will dwell on high;His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks;Bread will be given him,His water will be sure.
