Bible in Basic English
"Give ear, you who are far off, to what I have done: see my power, you who are near."
— Isaiah 33:13, Bible in Basic English
Now will I come forward, says the Lord; now will I be lifted up; now will my power be seen.
Your designs will be without profit, and their effect will be nothing: you will be burned up by the fire of my breath.
And the peoples will be like the burning of chalk: as thorns cut down, which are burned in the fire.
Give ear, you who are far off, to what I have done: see my power, you who are near.
The sinners in Zion are full of fear; the haters of God are shaking with wonder. Who among us may keep his place before the burning fire? who among us may see the eternal burnings?
He whose ways are true, and whose words are upright; he who gives no thought to the profits of false acts, whose hands have not taken rewards, who will have no part in putting men to death, and whose eyes are shut against evil;
He will have a place on high: he will be safely shut in by the high rocks: his bread will be given to him; his waters will be certain.
