Isaiah 33:17

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.

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.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
