Context of Isaiah 33:7
5The 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. Surely 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. 9The earth mourns and languishes, Lebanon is shamed and shriveled; Sharon is like a wilderness, And Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 7Behold - This verse introduces a new subject by a very sudden transition.
