Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? 15 He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly; he who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes his hands free from holding bribes, who stops his ear from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from seeing evil; 16 He shall dwell on high; his refuge shall be the strongholds of rocks; bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
