Isaiah 33:10-16 - The Lord Warns His Enemies

10 "Now I'll rise up," the LORD has said, "now I'll exalt myself; now I'll be lifted up. 11 You conceive dried grass, you give birth to stubble; your breath is a fire that will consume you. 12 And the nations will be burned as if to ashes; like cut thorn bushes, they will be set ablaze. 13 "Those who are far away have heard what I've done; and those that are near have acknowledged my power.

14 The sinners in Zion are terrified; trembling grips the godless: "Who among us can live with the consuming fire? Who among us can live with everlasting flames?" 15 The one who walks righteously and has spoken sincere words, who rejects gain from extortion and waves his hand, rejecting bribes, who blocks his ears from hearing plots of murder and shuts his eyes against seeing evil 16 this is the one who will live on the heights; his refuge will be a mountain fortress. His food will be supplied, and his water will be guaranteed.
