14錫安中的罪人都懼怕;不敬虔的人被戰兢抓住。我們中間誰能與吞滅的火同住?我們中間誰能與永火同住呢?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行事公義、說話正直、憎惡欺壓的財利、、塞耳不聽流血的話,閉眼不看邪惡事的,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—

24城內居民必不說:我病了;其中居住的百姓,罪孽都赦免了。And no resident of Zion will say, “I am sick.” The people who dwell there will be forgiven of iniquity.
