Book of Isaiah, Chapter 33
Chapter 33 of Isaiah
who yourself have not been destroyed;
you treacherous one,
with whom none has dealt treacherously!
When you have ceased to destroy,
you will be destroyed;
and when you have made an end of dealing treacherously,
you will be dealt with treacherously.
Be our arm every morning,
our salvation in the time of trouble.
at the lifting up of thyself nations are scattered;
as locusts leap, men leap upon it.
he will fill Zion with justice and righteousness;
abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge;
the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
the envoys of peace weep bitterly.
the wayfaring man ceases.
Covenants are broken,
witnesses[b] are despised,
there is no regard for man.
Lebanon is confounded and withers away;
Sharon is like a desert;
and Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
“now I will lift myself up;
now I will be exalted.
your breath is a fire that will consume you.
like thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire.”
and you who are near, acknowledge my might.
trembling has seized the godless:
“Who among us can dwell with the devouring fire?
Who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings?”
who despises the gain of oppressions,
who shakes his hands, lest they hold a bribe,
who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed
and shuts his eyes from looking upon evil,
his place of defense will be the fortresses of rocks;
his bread will be given him, his water will be sure.
they will behold a land that stretches afar.
“Where is he who counted, where is he who weighed the tribute?
Where is he who counted the towers?”
the people of an obscure speech which you cannot comprehend,
stammering in a tongue which you cannot understand.
Your eyes will see Jerusalem,
a quiet habitation, an immovable tent,
whose stakes will never be plucked up,
nor will any of its cords be broken.
a place of broad rivers and streams,
where no galley with oars can go,
nor stately ship can pass.
the LORD is our king; he will save us.
it cannot hold the mast firm in its place,
or keep the sail spread out.
¶ Then prey and spoil in abundance will be divided;
even the lame will take the prey.
the people who dwell there will be forgiven their iniquity.FOOTNOTES
