Isaiah 33:13-24

13Ye that are far off, hear what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might. 14The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? 15He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that keepeth his hands from accepting of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;1234 16He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the strong holds of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.5 17Thy eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.6 18Thy heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?7 19Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.8 20Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thy eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of its stakes shall ever be removed, neither shall any of its cords be broken. 21But there the glorious LORD will be to us a place of broad rivers and streams; in which shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass through it.9 22For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.10 23Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.11 24And the inhabitants shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell in it shall be forgiven their iniquity.
