Isaiah 33:10-17

“Now I will arise,” says the Lord. “Now I will exalt myself; now I will unveil my majesty! Assyria, your plans are worthless, as useless as chaff. My breath will be a fire that consumes you. As a thorn bush is cut down and thrown into the fire, your nation will be burned to ashes of lime.” “You who are far away, listen to what I have done, and you who draw near to me, acknowledge my power and strength! Sinners in Zion are afraid, and the godless are gripped with panic, saying, ‘Who can dwell with such an all-consuming fire? Who can live in the presence of the never-ending flame?’ Only those who walk with integrity and speak what is true, who despise even the thought of cheating the poor, and do not accept a bribe, nor plot violence, nor contemplate doing evil — they will live safely on the heights and make their safe place the mountain strongholds, with bread in steady supply and water assured.” In this high place, your eyes will see the king in his stunning beauty and gaze upon his broad domain.
