The Scriptures 1998

Isaiah 33:14-20 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

14. Sinners in Tsiyon shall be afraid; trembling shall grip the defiled ones, “Who of us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who of us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?”

15. He who walks righteously and speaks what is straight, he who rejects the gain of oppressions, who keeps his hands from accepting bribes, who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed, and shuts his eyes from seeing evil –

16. he shall inhabit the heights; strongholds of rocks be his refuge. His bread shall be given him, his water be steadfast.

17. Your eyes shall see the Sovereign in His comeliness, see a land that is far off.

18. Your heart ponders fear, “Where is the scribe? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers?”

19. No longer shall you see a fierce people, a people of too deep a lip to hear, of a jabbering tongue no one understands.

20. See Tsiyon, the city of our appointed time; your eyes shall see Yerushalayim, an undisturbed home, a tent not taken down. Its stakes are never removed, nor any of its cords broken.
