Isaiah 33:14-16

New Century Version

¹⁴ The sinners in Jerusalem are afraid;
    those who are separated from God shake with fear.
They say, “Can any of us live through this fire that destroys?
    Who can live near this fire that burns on and on?”
¹⁵ A person who does what is right
    and speaks what is right,
who refuses to take money unfairly,
    who refuses to take money to hurt others,
who does not listen to plans of murder,
    who refuses to think about evil—
¹⁶ this is the kind of person who will be safe.
    He will be protected as he would be in a high, walled city.
He will always have bread,
    and he will not run out of water.
