Isaiah 33:2-6

2Lord, please be kind to us. We wait for you to help us. Make us strong every day. Rescue us when trouble happens.

3When they hear the noise of battle, the nations run away. When you go to war, they run in every direction!

4You nations, after the battle your valuable things will quickly disappear! It will seem like locusts have eaten them all. Yes, we will take it all, like a hungry crowd of locusts.

5The Lord is greater than all others. He lives high above the earth. He will cause Zion's people to do what is right and fair.

6Whatever happens, he will cause you to be strong. He will always keep you safe, and he will make you wise, so that you understand things. Respect the Lord with fear, and he will do all this for you.
