11. You people have done useless things. These things are like hay and straw. They are worth nothing! Your breath will be like a fire and burn you.
12. People will be burned until their bones become lime. They will burn quickly like thorns and dry bushes.
13. “You people in faraway lands, listen to what I have done. You people who are near me, learn about my power.”
14. The sinners in Zion are afraid. Those who do wrong shake with fear. They say, “Can any of us live through this fire that destroys? Who can live near this fire that burns forever?”
15. Good, honest people who refuse to hurt others for money will live through that fire. They refuse to take bribes or listen to plans to murder other people. They refuse to look at plans for doing bad things.
16. They will live safely in high places. They will be protected in high rock fortresses. They will always have food and water.
17. Your eyes will see the King in his beauty. You will see the great land.
