Isa.|33:1|-|Woe to you who destroy and were not destroyed,And to him who deals unfaithfully and was not dealt with unfaithfully!
When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed;And when you cease to deal unfaithfully, they will deal unfaithfully with you.
Isa.|33:2|-|O Jehovah, be gracious to us; we have |a|waited for You;Be |1|our arm every morning,
|b|Our salvation also in the time of distress.
Isa.|33:3|-|At the noise of the tumult the peoples flee;At the lifting up of Yourself the nations were scattered.
Isa.|33:4|-|And your spoil will be gathered as the caterpillar gathers;As locusts rush to and fro, men will rush to and fro upon it.
Isa.|33:5|-|Jehovah is |a|exalted, for He dwells on high;He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
Isa.|33:6|-|And there will be stability for your times:A wealth of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge;
The fear of Jehovah is his treasure.
Isa.|33:7|-|Indeed their heroes cry in the streets;The ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
Isa.|33:8|-|The highways are desolate;The traveler ceases to travel.
He has broken the covenant; he despises the cities;He does not regard man.
Isa.|33:9|-|The land mourns and languishes;Lebanon is ashamed and withers away;
Sharon is like a desert,And Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
Isa.|33:10|-|Now I will arise, says Jehovah,Now I will be exalted; now I will be lifted up.
Isa.|33:11|-|You will conceive chaff; you will give birth to stubble;Your own breath, like fire, will devour you;
Isa.|33:12|-|And the peoples will be like the burning of lime,Like cut down thorns that are burned in the fire.
Isa.|33:13|-|Hear, you who are far off, what I have done;And know, you who are near, My might.
Isa.|33:14|-|The sinners in Zion are terrified;Trembling has seized the profane:
Who among us can dwell with consuming fire?Who among us can dwell with |a|everlasting burning?
Isa.|33:15|-|He who walks in righteousness and speaks uprightness;He who rejects gains seized by extortion;
He who shakes his hands lest they hold on to a bribe,Who stops his ears so as not to hear of bloodshed
And shuts his eyes so as not to look at evil.
Isa.|33:16|-|This one will dwell on the heights;His lofty retreat will be the rocky strongholds;
His bread will be given to him; his water will be sure.
Isa.|33:17|-|Your eyes will see the |a|King in His beauty;They will behold a land that is very far away.
Isa.|33:18|-|Your heart will meditate on terror:Where is he who counts? Where is he who weighs?
Where is he who counts the towers?
Isa.|33:19|-|You will not see a fierce people,A people of unintelligible speech, hardly audible,
Of a stammering tongue which cannot be understood.
Isa.|33:20|-|Look upon Zion, the |a|city of our appointed feasts;Your eyes will see Jerusalem,
A secure |b|habitation, a tent that will not be removed;Its stakes will never be pulled up,
And none of its cords will be torn apart.
Isa.|33:21|-|But there the Majestic, Jehovah, will be for usA place of |a|rivers and broad streams,
On which no boat with oars will goAnd no majestic ship will pass.
Isa.|33:22|-|For |1|Jehovah is our |a|Judge,Jehovah is our |b|Lawmaker,
Jehovah is our |c|King; He will save us.
Isa.|33:23|-|Your tackle has been slackened;It does not support its mast firmly,
Nor does it spread out the sail.Then the prey of abundant spoil is divided;
The lame take the plunder.
Isa.|33:24|-|And the inhabitant will not say, I am sick;The people who dwell there will be |a|forgiven their iniquity.
