Isaiah 33:16

Protection and safetyContentmentHopePoverty and the vulnerable

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—

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?”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
