Context of Isaiah 33:13
11You will be pregnant with hay. You will give birth to straw. Your breath will be a fire which will burn you up. 12People will be cremated. They will be set on fire like dry thornbushes. Hear what I have done, you people who are far away! Acknowledge my might, you people who are near! 14The sinners in Zion are terrified. Trembling seizes the ungodly. Can any of us live through a fire that destroys? Can any of us live through a fire that burns forever? 15The person who does what is right and speaks the truth will live. He rejects getting rich by extortion and refuses to take bribes. He refuses to listen to those who are plotting murders. He doesn’t look for evil things to do.
