Isaiah 33:13 — Meaning and Application

Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, {as} fire, shall devour you.

And the people shall be {as} the burnings of lime: {as} thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.

Hear, ye {that are} far off, what I have done; and, ye {that are} near, acknowledge my might.

The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; {righteously: Heb. in righteousnesses} {uprightly: Heb. uprightnesses} {oppressions: or, deceits} {blood: Heb. bloods}
