Context of Isaiah 33:6
4And your spoil shall be gathered [like] the gathering of the caterpillar: as the running of locusts shall they run upon it. 5Jehovah is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with justice and righteousness; and he shall be the stability of thy times, the riches of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of Jehovah shall be your treasure. 7Behold, their valiant ones cry without; the messengers of peace weep bitterly. 8The highways are desolate, the wayfaring man ceaseth. He hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
