Context of Isaiah 33:7
5The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness. 6And there shall be stability in thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of the LORD is his treasure. Behold, their valiant ones cry without: the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly. 8The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth not man. 9The land mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and withereth away: Sharon is like a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
