Isaiah

Isaiah 33:15–16

15He who walks righteously

and speaks with sincerity,

who refuses gain from extortion,

whose hand never takes a bribe,

who stops his ears against murderous plots

and shuts his eyes tightly against evil—

16he will dwell on the heights;

the mountain fortress will be his refuge;

his food will be provided

and his water assured.
