Context of Isaiah 33:6

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. 5The Lord is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness. Wisdom 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. 8The highways lie waste, The traveling man ceases. He has broken the covenant, He has despised the cities, He regards no man.
