12And the peoples will be like the burning of chalk: as thorns cut down, which are burned in the fire.
13Give ear, you who are far off, to what I have done: see my power, you who are near.
14The sinners in Zion are full of fear; the haters of God are shaking with wonder. Who among us may keep his place before the burning fire? who among us may see the eternal burnings?
15He whose ways are true, and whose words are upright; he who gives no thought to the profits of false acts, whose hands have not taken rewards, who will have no part in putting men to death, and whose eyes are shut against evil;
16He will have a place on high: he will be safely shut in by the high rocks: his bread will be given to him; his waters will be certain.
17Your eyes will see the king in his glory: they will be looking on a far-stretching land.
18Your heart will give thought to the cause of your fear: where is the scribe, where is he who made a record of the payments, where is he by whom the towers were numbered?
