New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 Whoever walks righteously and speaks honestly,
who spurns what is gained by oppression,
Who waves off contact with a bribe,
who stops his ears so as not to hear of bloodshed,
who closes his eyes so as not to look on evil—(A)
16 That one shall dwell on the heights,
with fortresses of rock for stronghold,
food and drink in steady supply.
Isaiah 33:15-16
New International Version
15 Those who walk righteously(A)
and speak what is right,(B)
who reject gain from extortion(C)
and keep their hands from accepting bribes,(D)
who stop their ears against plots of murder
and shut their eyes(E) against contemplating evil—
16 they are the ones who will dwell on the heights,(F)
whose refuge(G) will be the mountain fortress.(H)
Their bread will be supplied,
and water will not fail(I) them.
