ISA-33:1 Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou [wast] not spoiled;

and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with

thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled;

[and] when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they

shall deal treacherously with thee.

ISA-33:2 O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee:

be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time

of trouble.

ISA-33:3 At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the

lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.

ISA-33:4 And your spoil shall be gathered [like] the gathering

of the caterpillar: as the running to and fro of locusts shall

he run upon them.

ISA-33:5 The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath

filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.

ISA-33:6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy

times, [and] strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD [is]

his treasure.

ISA-33:7 Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the

ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.

ISA-33:8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he

hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he

regardeth no man.

ISA-33:9 The earth mourneth [and] languisheth: Lebanon is

ashamed [and] hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan

and Carmel shake off [their fruits].

ISA-33:10 Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted;

 now will I lift up myself.

ISA-33:11 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble:

your breath, [as] fire, shall devour you.

ISA-33:12 And the people shall be [as] the burnings of lime:

[as] thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.

ISA-33:13 Hear, ye [that are] far off, what I have done; and, ye

[that are] near, acknowledge my might.

ISA-33:14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath

surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the

devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting

burnings?

ISA-33:15 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly;

he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his

hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from

hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

ISA-33:16 He shall dwell on high: his place of defence [shall

be] the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters

[shall be] sure.

ISA-33:17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they

shall behold the land that is very far off.

ISA-33:18 Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where [is] the

scribe? where [is] the receiver? where [is] he that counted the

towers?

ISA-33:19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a

deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue,

[that thou canst] not understand.

ISA-33:20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine

eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle [that]

shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall

ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be

broken.

ISA-33:21 But there the glorious LORD [will be] unto us a place

of broad rivers [and] streams; wherein shall go no galley with

oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

ISA-33:22 For the LORD [is] our judge, the LORD [is] our

lawgiver, the LORD [is] our king; he will save us.

ISA-33:23 Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well

strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is

the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.

ISA-33:24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the

people that dwell therein [shall be] forgiven [their] iniquity.
