Bible verse
He 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—
Isaiah 33:15 · BSB
The verses around it, from Isaiah 33.
11 You conceive chaff; you give birth to stubble. Your breath is a fire that will consume you.
12 The peoples will be burned to ashes, like thorns cut down and set ablaze.
13 You who are far off, hear what I have done; you who are near, acknowledge My might.”
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling grips the ungodly: “Who of us can dwell with a consuming fire? Who of us can dwell with everlasting flames?”
15 He 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—
16 he will dwell on the heights; the mountain fortress will be his refuge; his food will be provided and his water assured.
17 Your eyes will see the King in His beauty and behold a land that stretches afar.
18 Your mind will ponder the former terror: “Where is he who tallies? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers?”
19 You will no longer see the insolent, a people whose speech is unintelligible, who stammer in a language you cannot understand.
