Context of Isaiah 33:15
13Ye that are far off, hear what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might. 14The 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 keepeth his hands from accepting of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; 16He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the strong holds of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure. 17Thy eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.
