Context of Isaiah 33:10
8The big roads are empty. Nobody is travelling anywhere. People spoil agreements that they have made. They do not believe what people promise. They do not respect anyone. 9The land itself is dry and useless. Lebanon's forest is dying. Sharon has become like a desert. The trees in Bashan and Carmel have no leaves. The Lord says, ‘Now I will stand up to do something. I will show that I am great and powerful. 11My enemies, everything that you want to do will be useless. Your thoughts are like dry grass and straw. Your own breath will destroy you, like a fire that burns dry grass. 12Your people will be like wood for the fire, and only ashes will remain. They will burn as easily as thorn bushes that people cut down and throw on the fire.
