Context of Isaiah 33:6
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. Whatever 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. 7Look! Our brave soldiers are calling out in the streets. The people that we sent to make peace with our enemies are weeping. 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.
