Context of Isaiah 33:22
20Look at Zion, the city where we hold religious festivals! You will see Jerusalem, a peaceful settlement, a tent that stays put; its stakes will never be pulled up; none of its ropes will snap in two. 21Instead the Lord will rule there as our mighty king. Rivers and wide streams will flow through it; no war galley will enter; no large ships will sail through. For the Lord, our ruler, the Lord, our commander, the Lord, our king – he will deliver us. 23Though at this time your ropes are slack, the mast is not secured, and the sail is not unfurled, at that time you will divide up a great quantity of loot; even the lame will drag off plunder. 24No resident of Zion will say, “I am ill”; the people who live there will have their sin forgiven.
