10. “Now I rise up,” declares יהוה. “Now I am exalted, now I am lifted up.
11. “You conceive chaff, you bring forth stubble, your spirit devours you like fire.
12. “And peoples shall be like the burnings of lime, like thorns cut up they are burned in the fire.
13. “You who are afar off, hear what I shall do; and you who are near, know My might.”
14. Sinners in Tsiyon shall be afraid; trembling shall grip the defiled ones, “Who of us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who of us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?”
15. He who walks righteously and speaks what is straight, he who rejects the gain of oppressions, who keeps his hands from accepting bribes, who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed, and shuts his eyes from seeing evil –
16. he shall inhabit the heights; strongholds of rocks be his refuge. His bread shall be given him, his water be steadfast.
17. Your eyes shall see the Sovereign in His comeliness, see a land that is far off.
18. Your heart ponders fear, “Where is the scribe? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers?”
19. No longer shall you see a fierce people, a people of too deep a lip to hear, of a jabbering tongue no one understands.
20. See Tsiyon, the city of our appointed time; your eyes shall see Yerushalayim, an undisturbed home, a tent not taken down. Its stakes are never removed, nor any of its cords broken.
21. But there, great is יהוה for us; a place of broad rivers, streams, in which no boat with oars sails, nor big ships pass by –
22. for יהוה is our Judge, יהוה is our Lawgiver, יהוה is our Sovereign, He saves us –
23. your ropes shall be slack, they do not strengthen their mast, they shall not spread the sail. Then the prey of great plunder shall be divided, the lame shall take the prey.
24. Neither shall the inhabitant say, “I am sick.” The people who dwell in it is forgiven their crookedness!
