11. You will conceive chaff.You will give birth to stubble.Your breath is a fire that will devour you.
12. The peoples will be like the burning of lime,like thorns that are cut down and burnt in the fire.
13. Hear, you who are far off, what I have done;and, you who are near, acknowledge my might.”
14. The sinners in Zion are afraid.Trembling has seized the godless ones.Who amongst us can live with the devouring fire?Who amongst us can live with everlasting burning?
15. He who walks righteously,and speaks blamelessly;He who despises the gain of oppressions,who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe,who stops his ears from hearing of blood,and shuts his eyes from looking at evil—
16. he will dwell on high.His place of defence will be the fortress of rocks.His bread will be supplied.His waters will be sure.
