Isaiah 33:14-17 GW . . .The sinners in Zion are terrified. Trembling seizes the ungodly. Can any of us live through a fire that destroys? Can any of us live through a fire that burns forever? (15) The person who does what is right and speaks the truth will live. He rejects getting rich by extortion and refuses to take bribes. He refuses to listen to those who are plotting murders. He doesn't look for evil things to do. (16) This person will live on high. His stronghold will be a fortress made of rock. He will have plenty of food and a dependable supply of water. (17) Your eyes will see how handsome the king is. You will see a land that stretches into the distance.
Isaiah 33:14-17 CEV . . .Those terrible sinners on Mount Zion tremble as they ask in fear, "How can we possibly live where a raging fire never stops burning?" (15) But there will be rewards for those who live right and tell the truth, for those who refuse to take money by force or accept bribes, for all who hate murder and violent crimes. (16) They will live in a fortress high on a rocky cliff, where they will have food and plenty of water. (17) With your own eyes you will see the glorious King; you will see his kingdom reaching far and wide.
Isaiah 33:14-17 GNB . . .The sinful people of Zion are trembling with fright. They say, "God's judgment is like a fire that burns forever. Can any of us survive a fire like that?" (15) You can survive if you say and do what is right. Don't use your power to cheat the poor and don't accept bribes. Don't join with those who plan to commit murder or to do other evil things. (16) Then you will be safe; you will be as secure as if in a strong fortress. You will have food to eat and water to drink. (17) Once again you will see a king ruling in splendor over a land that stretches in all directions.
Isaiah 33:14-17 ESV . . .The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling has seized the godless: "Who among us can dwell with the consuming fire? Who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?" (15) He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly, who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes his hands, lest they hold a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed and shuts his eyes from looking on evil, (16) he will dwell on the heights; his place of defense will be the fortresses of rocks; his bread will be given him; his water will be sure. (17) Your eyes will behold the king in his beauty; they will see a land that stretches afar.
