Isaiah 33 — Context

11

You conceive straw, you give birth to chaff; your breath is a fire that destroys you.

12

The nations will be burned to ashes; like thorn bushes that have been cut down, they will be set on fire.

13

You who are far away, listen to what I have done! You who are close by, recognize my strength!”

14

Sinners are afraid in Zion; panic grips the godless. They say,‘Who among us can coexist with destructive fire? Who among us can coexist with unquenchable fire?’

15

The one who lives uprightly and speaks honestly; the one who refuses to profit from oppressive measures and rejects a bribe; the one who does not plot violent crimes and does not seek to harm others–

16

This is the person who will live in a secure place; he will find safety in the rocky, mountain strongholds; he will have food and a constant supply of water.

17

You will see a king in his splendor; you will see a wide land.
