Isaiah 33

1WoeH1945 to thee that destroyest, and thou wast not destroyedH7703; and dealest treacherouslyH898, and they dealtH898 not treacherouslyH898 with thee! When thou hast ceased to destroyH7703, thou shalt be destroyedH7703; and when thou hast made an endH8552 of dealing treacherouslyH898, they shall dealH898 treacherouslyH898 with thee. 2O Jehovah, beH1961 gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: beH1961 thou our armH2220 every morningH1242, our salvationH3444 alsoH637 in the timeH6256 of troubleH6869. 3At the noise of the tumultH1995 the peoplesH5971 are fledH5074; at the lifting up of thyself the nationsH1471 are scatteredH5310. 4And your spoilH7998 shall be gatheredH622 as the caterpillar gathereth: as locusts leap shall men leap upon it. 5Jehovah is exaltedH7682; for he dwelleth on highH4791: he hath filledH4390 ZionH6726 with justiceH4941 and righteousnessH6666. 6And there shall beH1961 stability in thy timesH6256, abundance of salvationH3444, wisdomH2451, and knowledgeH1847: the fearH3374 of Jehovah is thy treasureH214.

7Behold, their valiant ones cryH6817 without; the ambassadors of peaceH7965 weepH1058 bitterly. 8The highwaysH4546 lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: the enemy hath brokenH6565 the covenantH1285, he hath despised the citiesH5892, he regardeth not man. 9The landH776 mourneth and languisheth; LebanonH3844 is confounded and withereth away; SharonH8289 is like a desertH6160; and BashanH1316 and CarmelH3760 shakeH5287 off their leaves. 10NowH6258 will I ariseH6965, saith Jehovah; nowH6258 will I liftH5375 up myself; nowH6258 will I be exaltedH7311. 11Ye shall conceiveH2029 chaffH7179, ye shall bringH3205 forthH3205 stubbleH7179: your breathH7307 is a fireH784 that shall devourH398 you. 12And the peoplesH5971 shall beH1961 as the burnings of limeH7875, as thornsH6975 cutH3683 down, that areH1961 burnedH3341 in the fireH784.

13HearH8085, ye that are farH7350 off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might. 14The sinnersH2400 in ZionH6726 are afraidH6342; trembling hath seizedH270 the godlessH2611 ones: Who among us can dwell with the devouringH398 fireH784? who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings? 15He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gainH1215 of oppressions, that shaketh his handsH3709 from taking a bribeH7810, that stoppeth his earsH241 from hearing of bloodH1818, and shutteth his eyesH5869 from lookingH7200 upon evilH7451: 16He shall dwellH7931 on highH4791; his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocksH5553; his breadH3899 shall be givenH5414 him; his watersH4325 shall be sure.

17Thine eyesH5869 shall seeH7200 the kingH4428 in his beautyH3308: they shall behold a landH776 that reacheth afar. 18Thy heartH3820 shall muse on the terrorH367: WhereH346 is he that countedH5608, whereH346 is he that weighedH8254 the tribute? whereH346 is he that countedH5608 the towersH4026? 19Thou shalt not seeH7200 the fierce peopleH5971, a peopleH5971 of a deep speech that thou canst not comprehend, of a strange tongueH3956 that thou canst not understand. 20LookH7200 upon ZionH6726, the city of our solemnities: thine eyesH5869 shall seeH7200 JerusalemH3389 a quiet habitation, a tentH168 that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cordsH2256 thereof be broken. 21But there Jehovah will be with us in majesty, a placeH4725 of broadH7342 riversH5104 and streams, wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship passH5674 thereby. 22For Jehovah is our judgeH8199, Jehovah is our lawgiver, Jehovah is our kingH4428; he will saveH3467 us. 23Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not strengthenH2388 the foot of their mastH8650, they could not spreadH6566 the sailH5251: thenH227 was the preyH957 of a great spoilH7998 dividedH2505; the lameH6455 tookH2388 the preyH957. 24And the inhabitantH3427 shall not sayH559, I am sickH2470: the peopleH5971 that dwellH3427 therein shall be forgiven their iniquityH5771.
