Isaiah 33
33Ah, you destroyer, who yourself have not been destroyed; you treacherous one, with whom no one has dealt treacherously! When you have ceased to destroy, you will be destroyed; and when you have stopped dealing treacherously, you will be dealt with treacherously.H1945H7703H7703H898H898H8552H7703H7703H5239H898H8982O LORD, be gracious to us; we wait for you. Be our arm every morning, our salvation in the time of trouble.H3068H2603H6960H2220H1242H3444H6256H68693At the sound of tumult, peoples fled; before your majesty, nations scattered.H6963H1995H5971H5074H7427H1471H53104Spoil was gathered as the caterpillar gathers; as locusts leap, they leaped upon it.H7998H622H625H2625H4944H1357H82645The LORD is exalted, he dwells on high; he filled Zion with justice and righteousness;H3068H7682H7931H4791H4390H6726H4941H66666he will be the stability of your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; the fear of the LORD is Zion's treasure.H2451H1847H530H6256H2633H3444H3374H3068H2147Listen! the valiant cry in the streets; the envoys of peace weep bitterly.H691H6817H2351H4397H7965H1058H47518The highways are deserted, travelers have quit the road. The treaty is broken, its oaths are despised, its obligation is disregarded.H4546H8074H5674H734H7673H6565H1285H3988H5892H2803H5829The land mourns and languishes; Lebanon is confounded and withers away; Sharon is like a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.H776H56H535H3844H2659H7060H8289H6160H1316H3760H528710"Now I will arise," says the LORD, "now I will lift myself up; now I will be exalted.H6965H559H3068H7426H537511You conceive chaff, you bring forth stubble; your breath is a fire that will consume you.H2029H2842H3205H7179H7307H784H39812And the peoples will be as if burned to lime, like thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire."H5971H4955H7875H6975H3683H3341H78413Hear, you who are far away, what I have done; and you who are near, acknowledge my might.H8085H7350H6213H7138H3045H136914The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling has seized the godless: "Who among us can live with the devouring fire? Who among us can live with everlasting flames?"H2400H6726H6342H7461H270H2611H1481H398H784H1481H5769H416815Those who walk righteously and speak uprightly, who despise the gain of oppression, who wave away a bribe instead of accepting it, who stop their ears from hearing of bloodshed and shut their eyes from looking on evil,H1980H6666H1696H4339H3988H1215H4642H5287H3709H8551H7810H331H241H8085H1818H6105H5869H7200H745116they will live on the heights; their refuge will be the fortresses of rocks; their food will be supplied, their water assured.H7931H4791H4869H4679H5553H3899H5414H4325H53917Your eyes will see the king in his beauty; they will behold a land that stretches far away.H5869H2372H4428H3308H7200H776H480118Your mind will muse on the terror: "Where is the one who counted? Where is the one who weighed the tribute? Where is the one who counted the towers?"H3820H1897H367H5608H8254H5608H402619No longer will you see the insolent people, the people of an obscure speech that you cannot comprehend, stammering in a language that you cannot understand.H7200H3267H5971H5971H6012H8193H8085H3932H3956H99820Look on Zion, the city of our appointed festivals! Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, an immovable tent, whose stakes will never be pulled up, and none of whose ropes will be broken.H2372H6726H7151H4150H5869H7200H3389H7600H5116H168H6813H3489H5331H5265H2256H542321But there the LORD in majesty will be for us a place of broad rivers and streams, where no galley with oars can go, nor stately ship can pass.H117H3068H4725H7342H3027H5104H2975H3212H1077H590H7885H117H6716H567422For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our ruler, the LORD is our king; he will save us.H3068H8199H3068H2710H3068H4428H346723Your rigging hangs loose; 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 fall to plundering.H2256H5203H3653H2388H8650H6566H5251H5706H4766H7998H2505H6455H962H95724And no inhabitant will say, "I am sick"; the people who live there will be forgiven their iniquity.H7934H559H2470H5971H3427H5375H5771
