Isaiah 33:16

This man shall dwell in high things, the strongholds of stones be the highness of him; bread is given to him, his waters be faithful. (This man shall live in the heights, yea, the strongholds of stones be his high places of safety; bread is given to him, his water never faileth, that is, it is always plentiful.)

17They shall see the king in (all) his fairness; the eyes of him shall behold the land from [a] far.
