Isaiah 33:16
Verse 16 of 24. The 33rd of 66 chapters in Isaiah, in The Major Prophets.
12The peoples will be like the burning of lime, like thorns that are cut down and burned in the fire.
13Hear, you who are far off, what I have done; and, you who are near, acknowledge my might.”
14The sinners in Zion are afraid. Trembling has seized the godless ones. Who among us can live with the devouring fire? Who among us can live with everlasting burning?
15He 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 bloodshed, and shuts his eyes from looking at evil—
16he will dwell on high. His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks. His bread will be supplied. His waters will be sure.
17Your eyes will see the king in his beauty. They will see a distant land.
18Your heart will meditate on the terror. Where is he who counted? Where is he who weighed? Where is he who counted the towers?
19You will no longer see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that you can’t comprehend, with a strange language that you can’t understand.
20Look at Zion, the city of our appointed festivals. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, a tent that won’t be removed. Its stakes will never be plucked up, nor will any of its cords be broken.
