Context of Isaiah 33:22
20Now, look at Zion, the city where we have our festivals. Yes, you will see Jerusalem. It will be a place that is quiet and safe. It will be like a tent that people will never move. They will never pull up its pegs. They will never break its ropes. 21The Lord will rule there as our powerful God. Rivers and wide streams will run through it. Our enemies will not be able to bring their ships there to attack us. The Lord will keep us safe. He is our judge, our ruler and our king. 23At this time, your ship is not ready to go anywhere. You have not tied the ropes. There is nowhere to hang the sails. But then, you will take many valuable things from your enemies. You will share them after the battle. Even people who cannot walk well will carry away what they want! 24Nobody who lives in Zion will say, ‘I am ill.’ And God will forgive their sins.
