Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? / He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil; / He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.»
