Context of Isaiah 33:5

3The nations run away when they hear a loud noise; the nations scatter when you spring into action! 4Your plunder disappears as if locusts were eating it; they swarm over it like locusts! The Lord is exalted, indeed, he lives in heaven; he fills Zion with justice and fairness. 6He is your constant source of stability; he abundantly provides safety and great wisdom; he gives all this to those who fear him. 7Look, ambassadors cry out in the streets; messengers sent to make peace weep bitterly.
