chapter_Isaiah_33
Isaiah 33:1: Woe, spoiler! and thou not spoiled, And treacherous! and they dealt not treacherously with thee, When thou dost finish, O spoiler, thou art spoiled, When thou dost finish dealing treacherously, They deal treacherously with thee. Isaiah 33:2: O Jehovah, favour us, for thee we have waited, Be their arm, in the mornings, Yea, our salvation in time of adversity. Isaiah 33:3: From the voice of a multitude fled have peoples, From thine exaltation scattered have been nations. Isaiah 33:4: And gathered hath been your spoil, A gathering of the caterpillar, As a running to and fro of locusts is he running on it. Isaiah 33:5: Set on high is Jehovah, for He is dwelling on high, He filled Zion with judgment and righteousness, Isaiah 33:6: And hath been the stedfastness of thy times, The strength of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge, Fear of Jehovah &#8212; it is His treasure. Isaiah 33:7: Lo, 'Their Ariel,' they have cried without, Messengers of peace do weep bitterly. Isaiah 33:8: Desolated have been highways, Ceased hath he who passeth along the path, He hath broken covenant, He hath despised enemies, He hath not esteemed a man. Isaiah 33:9: Mourned, languished hath the land, Confounded hath been Lebanon, Withered hath been Sharon as a wilderness, And shaking are Bashan and Carmel. Isaiah 33:10: Now, do I arise, saith Jehovah, Now I am exalted, now I am lifted up. Isaiah 33:11: Ye conceive chaff, ye bear stubble, Your spirit! &#8212; fire devoureth you. Isaiah 33:12: And peoples have been as burnings of lime, Thorns, as sweepings, with fire they burn. Isaiah 33:13: Hear, ye far off, that which I have done, And know, ye near ones, My might. Isaiah 33:14: Afraid in Zion have been sinners, Seized hath trembling the profane: Who doth dwell for us &#8212; consuming fire, Who doth dwell for us &#8212; burnings of the age? Isaiah 33:15: Whoso is walking righteously, And is speaking uprightly, Kicking against gain of oppressions, Shaking his hands from taking hold on a bribe, Stopping his ear from hearing of blood, And shutting his eyes from looking on evil, Isaiah 33:16: He high places doth inhabit, Strongholds of rock are his high tower, His bread hath been given, his waters stedfast. Isaiah 33:17: A king in his beauty, see do thine eyes, They see a land afar off. Isaiah 33:18: Thy heart doth meditate terror, Where is he who is counting? Where is he who is weighing? Where is he who is counting the towers? Isaiah 33:19: The strong people thou seest not, A people deeper of lip than to be understood, Of a scorned tongue, there is no understanding. Isaiah 33:20: See Zion, the city of our meetings, Thine eyes see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, A tent not taken down, Not removed are its pins for ever, And none of its cords are broken. Isaiah 33:21: But there mighty is Jehovah for us, A place of rivers &#8212; streams broad of sides, No ship with oars doth go into it, And a mighty ship doth not pass over it. Isaiah 33:22: For Jehovah our judge, Jehovah our lawgiver, Jehovah our king &#8212; He doth save us. Isaiah 33:23: Left have been thy ropes, They strengthen not rightly their mast, They have not spread out a sail, Then apportioned hath been a prey of much spoil, The lame have taken spoil. Isaiah 33:24: Nor doth an inhabitant say, 'I was sick,' The people that is dwelling in it, is forgiven of iniquity!
