aLike thorns cut up they shall be burned in the fire.
Fearfulness has seized the hypocrites:
“Who among us shall dwell with the devouring afire?
Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?”
He who despises the gain of oppressions,
Who gestures with his hands, refusing bribes,
Who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed,
And bshuts his eyes from seeing evil:
His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks;
Bread will be given him,
His water will be sure.

Where is he who weighs?
Where is he who counts the towers?”

Isaiah 33:14
The sinners in Zion are afraid - Zion has been generally considered as a type of the Church of God. Now all the members of God' s Church should be holy, and given to good works; sinners in Zion, therefore, are portentous beings! but, alas! where are they not? The Targum on this verse is worthy of notice: "The sinners in Zion are broken down; fear hath seized the ungodly, who are suffering for their ways. They say, Who among us shall dwell in Zion, where the splendor of the Divine Majesty is like a consuming fire? Who of us shall dwell in Jerusalem, where the ungodly are judged and delivered into hell for an eternal burning?" Everdurynge brennyngis. Old MS. Bible.
