Context of Isaiah 33:6

4Your spoil will be gathered as locusts are gathered; people will swarm over it like an infestation of locusts. 5The Lord is exalted, for he dwells on high; he has filled Zion with justice and righteousness. There will be times of security for you — a storehouse of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the Lord is Zion’s treasure. 7Listen! Their warriors cry loudly in the streets; the messengers of peace weep bitterly. 8The highways are deserted; travel has ceased. An agreement has been broken, cities despised, and human life disregarded.
