Isaiah 33

[ ]

& Woe to you, O destroyer, While you were not destroyed; And he who is treacherous, while {others} did not deal treacherously with him. As soon as you finish destroying, you will be destroyed; As soon as you cease to deal treacherously, {others} will deal treacherously with you.

& O LORD, be gracious to us; we have waited for You. Be their strength every morning, Our salvation also in the time of distress.

& At the sound of the tumult peoples flee; At the lifting up of Yourself nations disperse.

& Your spoil is gathered {as} the caterpillar gathers; As locusts rushing about men rush about on it.

& The LORD is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.

& And He will be the stability of your times, A wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge; The fear of the LORD is his treasure.

& Behold, their brave men cry in the streets, The ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.

& The highways are desolate, the traveler has ceased, He has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities, He has no regard for man.

& The land mourns {and} pines away, Lebanon is shamed {and} withers; Sharon is like a desert plain, And Bashan and Carmel lose {their foliage.}

& "Now I will arise," says the LORD, "Now I will be exalted, now I will be lifted up.

& "You have conceived chaff, you will give birth to stubble; My breath will consume you like a fire.

& "The peoples will be burned to lime, Like cut thorns which are burned in the fire.

& "You who are far away, hear what I have done; And you who are near, acknowledge My might."

& Sinners in Zion are terrified; Trembling has seized the godless. "Who among us can live with the consuming fire? Who among us can live with continual burning?"

& He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity, He who rejects unjust gain And shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe; He who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed And shuts his eyes from looking upon evil;

& He will dwell on the heights, His refuge will be the impregnable rock; His bread will be given {him,} His water will be sure.

& Your eyes will see the King in His beauty; They will behold a far-distant land.

& Your heart will meditate on terror: "Where is he who counts? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers?"

& You will no longer see a fierce people, A people of unintelligible speech which no one comprehends, Of a stammering tongue which no one understands.

& Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts; Your eyes will see Jerusalem, an undisturbed habitation, A tent which will not be folded; Its stakes will never be pulled up, Nor any of its cords be torn apart.

& But there the majestic {One,} the LORD, will be for us A place of rivers {and} wide canals On which no boat with oars will go, And on which no mighty ship will pass--

& For the LORD is our judge, The LORD is our lawgiver, The LORD is our king; He will save us--

& Your tackle hangs slack; It cannot hold the base of its mast firmly, Nor spread out the sail. Then the prey of an abundant spoil will be divided; The lame will take the plunder.

& And no resident will say, "I am sick"; The people who dwell there will be forgiven {their} iniquity.
