Isaiah 33:1-14

1Woe 1to you, O destroyer, While you were not destroyed; And he 2who is treacherous, while others did not deal treacherously with him. As soon as you finish destroying, 3you will be destroyed; As soon as you cease to deal treacherously, others will 4deal treacherously with you.2O Lord, 5be gracious to us; we have 6waited for You. Be 7their 89strength every morning, Our salvation also in the 10time of distress.3At the sound of the tumult 11peoples flee; At the 12lifting up of Yourself nations disperse.4Your spoil is gathered as the caterpillar gathers; As locusts rushing about men rush about on it.5The Lord is 13exalted, for He dwells on high; He has 14filled Zion with justice and righteousness.6And He will be the 1516stability of your times, A 17wealth of salvation, wisdom and 18knowledge; The 19fear of the Lord is his treasure.7Behold, their brave men cry in 20the streets, The 2122ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.8The highways are desolate, 23the 24traveler has ceased, He has 25broken the covenant, he has despised the cities, He has no regard for man.926The land mourns and pines away, 27Lebanon is shamed and withers; 28Sharon is like a desert plain, And Bashan and Carmel 29lose their foliage.10“Now 30I will arise,” says the Lord, “Now I will be exalted, now I will be lifted up.11You have 31conceived 32chaff, you will give birth to stubble; 33My 34breath will consume you like a fire.12The peoples will be burned to lime, 35Like cut thorns which are burned in the fire.

13“You who are far away, 36hear what I have done; And you who are near, 37acknowledge My might.”1438Sinners in Zion are terrified; 39Trembling has seized the godless. “Who among us can live with 40the consuming fire? Who among us can live with 41continual 42burning?”
