Context of Isaiah 33:11
9The land mourns and wastes away, Lebanon is shamed and withers; Sharon is like a desert plain, And Bashan and Carmel lose their foliage. 10“Now I will arise,” says the Lord, “Now I will be exalted, now I will be lifted up. You have conceived chaff, you will give birth to stubble; My breath will consume you like a fire. 12The peoples will be burned to lime, Like cut thorns which are burned in the fire. 13“You who are far away, hear what I have done; And you who are near, acknowledge My might.”
