He who walks righteously
and speaks blamelessly,
he who despises the gain of oppressions,
who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe,
who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed,
and shuts his eyes from looking at evil—
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Isaiah 33:15 in context
Isaiah 33:12–18
12
The peoples will be like the burning of lime,
like thorns that are cut down and burned in the fire.
13
Hear, you who are far off, what I have done;
and, you who are near, acknowledge my might.”
14
The sinners in Zion are afraid.
Trembling has seized the godless ones.
Who among us can live with the devouring fire?
Who among us can live with everlasting burning?
15
Selected verse
He who walks righteously
and speaks blamelessly,
he who despises the gain of oppressions,
who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe,
who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed,
and shuts his eyes from looking at evil—
16
he will dwell on high.
His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks.
His bread will be supplied.
His waters will be sure.
17
Your eyes will see the king in his beauty.
They will see a distant land.
18
Your heart will meditate on the terror.
Where is he who counted?
Where is he who weighed?
Where is he who counted the towers?
