Isaiah 33:15-16

33:15 The one who lives uprightly

and speaks honestly;

the one who refuses to profit from oppressive measures

and rejects a bribe;

the one who does not plot violent crimes

and does not seek to harm others

33:16 This is the person who will live in a secure place;

he will find safety in the rocky, mountain strongholds;

he will have food

and a constant supply of water.


tn Heb “walks” (so NASB, NIV).

tn Or, possibly, “justly”; NAB “who practices virtue.”

tn Heb “[who] shakes off his hands from grabbing hold of a bribe.”

tn Heb “[who] shuts his ear from listening to bloodshed.”

tn Heb “[who] closes his eyes from seeing evil.”

tn Heb “he [in the] exalted places will live.”

tn Heb “mountain strongholds, cliffs [will be] his elevated place.”
