Context of Isaiah 33:3
1Woe to you, O destroyer, While you were not destroyed; And he who is treacherous, while others did not deal treacherously with him. As soon as you finish destroying, you will be destroyed; As soon as you cease to deal treacherously, others will deal treacherously with you. 2O Lord, be gracious to us; we have waited for You. Be their strength every morning, Our salvation also in the time of distress. At the sound of the tumult peoples flee; At the lifting 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 exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
