“He who walks righteouslyand 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 —”
Isaiah 33:15 (WEB)
Context Reading
13Hear, you who are far off, what I have done;and, you who are near, acknowledge my might.” 14The 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? 15He who walks righteouslyand 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 — 16he will dwell on high.His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks.His bread will be supplied.His waters will be sure. 17Your eyes will see the king in his beauty.They will see a distant land.
