Context of Isaiah 33:5

3At the noise of the tumult the people shall flee; When You lift Yourself up, the nations shall be scattered; 4And Your plunder shall be gathered Like the gathering of the caterpillar; As the running to and fro of locusts, He shall run upon them. The Lord is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness. 6Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, And the strength of salvation; The fear of the Lord is His treasure. 7Surely their valiant ones shall cry outside, The ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
