Context of Isaiah 33:5

3The enemy runs at the sound of your voice. When you stand up, the nations flee! 4Just as caterpillars and locusts strip the fields and vines, so the fallen army of Assyria will be stripped! Though the Lord is very great and lives in heaven, he will make Jerusalem his home of justice and righteousness. 6In that day he will be your sure foundation, providing a rich store of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the Lord will be your treasure. 7But now your brave warriors weep in public. Your ambassadors of peace cry in bitter disappointment.
