Isaiah 33:16

The Lord Warns His Enemies

¹⁵
He who walks righteously and speaks with integrity,
Who rejects gain from fraud and from oppression,
Who shakes his hand free from the taking of bribes,
Who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed
And shuts his eyes to avoid looking upon evil;
¹⁶ 
He will dwell on the heights,
His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks,
His bread will be given him;
His water will be permanent. ¹⁷
Your eyes will see the King in His beauty;
They will see a far-distant land.
