Isaiah 33:15

Isaiah 33:15

13 Hear, ^ayou who are afar off, what I have done;
And you who are near, acknowledge My might.”

14 The sinners in Zion are afraid;
Fearfulness has seized the hypocrites:
“Who among us shall dwell with the devouring ^afire?
Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?”

15 He who ^awalks righteously and speaks uprightly,
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:

16 He will dwell on¹ high;
His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks;
Bread will be given him,
His water will be sure.

The Land of the Majestic King

17 Your eyes will see the King in His ^abeauty;
They will see the land that is very far off.

18 Your heart will meditate on terror:
^a“Where is the scribe?
Where is he who weighs?
Where is he who counts the towers?”

19 ^aYou will not see a fierce people,
^bA people of obscure speech, beyond perception,
Of a¹ stammering tongue that you cannot understand.

20 ^aLook upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts;
Your eyes will see ^bJerusalem, a quiet home,
A tabernacle that will not be taken down;
^cNot one of ^dits stakes will ever be removed,
Nor will any of its cords be broken.

In contrast to the trembling "sinners in Zion" (Isaiah 33:14), the righteous shall be secure amid all judgments; they are described according to the Old Testament standpoint of righteousness (Psalms 15:2; Psalms 24:4).

stoppeth . . . ears . . . eyes—"Rejoiceth not in iniquity" (I Corinthians 13:6; contrast Isaiah 29:20; Psalms 10:3; Romans 1:32). The senses are avenues for the entrance of sin (Psalms 119:37).
