11. Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
12. And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
13. Ye that are far off, hear what I have done; and ye that are near, acknowledge my might.
14. The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
15. He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
16. He shall dwell on high: his place of defense shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.
17. Thy eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
18. Thy heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
19. Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.
20. Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thy eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of its stakes shall ever be removed, neither shall any of its cords be broken.
21. But there the glorious LORD will be to us a place of broad rivers and streams; in which shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass through it.
22. For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.
23. Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
24. And the inhabitants shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
