Context of Isaiah 33:24
22The 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! Nobody who lives in Zion will say, ‘I am ill.’ And God will forgive their sins.

Commentaries on Isaiah 33:24
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 24And the inhabitant shall not say - This verse is somewhat obscure. The meaning of it seems to be, that the army of Sennacherib shall by the stroke of God be reduced to so shattered and so weak a condition, that the Jews shall fall upon the remains of them, and plunder them without resistance; that the most infirm and disabled of the people of Jerusalem shall come in for their share of the spoil; the lame shall seize the prey; even the sick and the…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 24And the inhabitant - The inhabitant of Jerusalem.

In the Jerusalem to come there shall be no "sickness," because there will be no "iniquity," it being forgiven (Psa 103:3).
