Context of Isaiah 33:5

3At the sound of a roar, peoples flee; At the lifting up of Yourself, nations disperse. 4Your plunder is gathered as the caterpillar gathers; Like an infestation of locusts, people storm it. The Lord is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness. 6And He will be the stability of your times, A wealth of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; The fear of the Lord is his treasure. 7Behold, their brave men cry out in the streets, The ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
