Context of Isaiah 33:5

3People flee from the noise of ⌞your⌟ army. Nations scatter when you attack. 4You nations, your loot is gathered as grasshoppers harvest a crop. Like swarming locusts, people rush for your loot. The Lord is honored because he lives on high. He will fill Zion with justice and righteousness. 6He will be the foundation of your future. The riches of salvation are wisdom and knowledge. The fear of the Lord is ⌞your⌟ treasure. 7Heroes cry in the streets. Messengers of peace cry bitterly.
