Isaiah 33:16 in context

The verses around it, from Isaiah 33.

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.

20 Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful pasture, a tent that does not wander; its tent pegs will not be pulled up, nor will any of its cords be broken.
