Context of Isaiah 33:5

3At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered. 4And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them. Yhwh is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness. 6And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of Yhwh is his treasure. 7Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
