The Book of the Prophet Isaiah

 

Chapter 33

 

 

1.

 

Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou [wast] not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; [and] when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.

    
 
 

2.

 

O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.

    
 
 

3.

 

At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.

    
 
 

4.

 

And your spoil shall be gathered [like] the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.

    
 
 

5.

 

The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.

    
 
 

6.

 

And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, [and] strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD [is] his treasure.

    
 
 

7.

 

Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.

    
 
 

8.

 

The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.

    
 
 

9.

 

The earth mourneth [and] languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed [and] hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off [their fruits].

    
 
 

10.

 

Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.

    
 
 

11.

 

Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, [as] fire, shall devour you.

    
 
 

12.

 

And the people shall be [as] the burnings of lime: [as] thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.

    
 
 

13.

 

Hear, ye [that are] far off, what I have done; and, ye [that are] near, acknowledge my might.

    
 
 

14.

 

The 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?

    
 
 

15.

 

He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;

    
 
 

16.

 

He shall dwell on high: his place of defence [shall be] the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters [shall be] sure.

    
 
 

17.

 

Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.

    
 
 

18.

 

Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where [is] the scribe? where [is] the receiver? where [is] he that counted the towers?

    
 
 

19.

 

Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, [that thou canst] not understand.

    
 
 

20.

 

Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle [that] shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

    
 
 

21.

 

But there the glorious LORD [will be] unto us a place of broad rivers [and] streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

    
 
 

22.

 

For the LORD [is] our judge, the LORD [is] our lawgiver, the LORD [is] our king; he will save us.

    
 
 

23.

 

Thy 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.

    
 
 

24.

 

And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein [shall be] forgiven [their] iniquity.
