Isaiah
Chapter 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.
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.
3 At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of
thyself the nations were scattered.
4 And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the
caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon
them.
5 The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion
with judgment and righteousness.
6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and
strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
7 Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of
peace shall weep bitterly.
8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken
the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
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.
10 Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will
I lift up myself.
11 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your
breath, as fire, shall devour you.
12 And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut
up shall they be burned in the fire.
13 Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are
near, acknowledge my might.
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?
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;
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.
17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold
the land that is very far off.
18 Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is
the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
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.
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.
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.
22 For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is
our king; he will save us.
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.
24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that
dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
