Yeshayah 33
33
1Hoy (woe, doom) to thee that destroyest, and thou wast not destroyed; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously as a boged (traitor, treacherous person) with thee! When thou shalt cease to destroy, thou shalt be destroyed; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously as a boged with thee.
2 Hashem, be gracious unto us; we have waited for Thee; be Thou their zero'a in the bekarim (mornings), our Yeshu'ah (salvation) also in the time of tzoros.
3At the noise of the tumult the peoples fled; at the lifting up of Thyself the Goyim were scattered.
4And your shalal (booty, plunder, gain) shall be gathered like the gathering of the locusts; as the swarm of grasshoppers shall men pounce upon them.
5 Hashem is exalted; for He dwelleth on high; He hath filled Tziyon with mishpat and tzedakah.
6And He shall be the emunah (faithfulness, stability) of thy times, a rich store of Yeshu'ah (salvation), chochmah, and da'as; the yirat Hashem is his otzar (treasure).
7Behold, their valiant ones shall cry in the street; the malachei shalom shall weep bitterly.
8The mesillot (highways) lie in ruins, the wayfaring man ceaseth; he hath annulled the brit (covenant), he hath despised the towns, he regardeth no enosh (humankind).
9Ha'aretz mourneth and languisheth; Levanon is ashamed and shriveled; Sharon is like an aravah; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their foliage.
10Now will I arise, saith Hashem; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up Myself.
11Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth straw; your ruach (breath), as eish, shall devour you.
12And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime; as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the eish.
13Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge My gevurah (might).
14The chatta'im (sinners) in Tziyon are terrified; trembling hath seized the khanafim (hypocrites). Who among us can dwell with the devouring eish? Who among us can dwell with mokedei olam#33:14 see Dan 12:2 (everlasting burnings)?
15He that walketh in tzedakot, and speaketh meisharim (right things), he that despiseth the gain of extortions, that guards his palms from accepting shochad (bribe[s]), that stoppeth his ozen from hearing of dahm, and shutteth his eynayim from seeing rah;
16He shall dwell on high; his metzadot shall be the rocky fortress; his lechem shall be given him; his mayim shall be unfailing.
17Thine eynayim shall see Melech in His yafeh (beauty); they shall behold eretz that is very far off.
18Thine lev shall ponder terror. Where is the sofer (scribe)? Where is he who weighs?#33:18 for Assyrian tax collection Where is he that counts the migdalim (towers)?
19Thou shalt no longer see a fierce people, a people of unfathomable language that is incomprehensible, of a stammering lashon, that thou canst not understand.
20Look upon Tziyon, the city of mo'adenu (our appointed times, festivals); thine eynayim shall see Yerushalayim a quiet naveh, an ohel that shall not be taken down; not one stake thereof shall ever be pulled up, neither shall any of the ropes thereof be broken.
21But there Adir Hashem will be unto us a makom (place) of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall a mighty ship pass thereby.
22For Hashem is our Shofet, Hashem is Mechokkeinu (our Lawgiver), Hashem is Malkeinu; Hu yoshieinu (He will save us).
23Thy riggings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the nes (sail); then is the shalal (spoil, plunder) of a great plunder divided; the pisechim (lame ones) take the plunder.
24And the inhabitant [of Yerushalayim] shall not say, I am ill; the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their avon.

Isaiah 33
33
The Judgment of God
1Woe (judgment is coming) to you, O destroyer,
You who were not destroyed,
And he who is treacherous, while others did not deal treacherously with him.
As soon as you finish destroying, you will be destroyed;
As soon as you stop dealing treacherously, others will deal treacherously with you.
2O Lord, be gracious to us; we have waited [expectantly] for You.
Be the arm of Your servants every morning [that is, their strength and their defense],
Our salvation also in the time of trouble.
3At the sound of the tumult, the peoples flee;
At the lifting up of Yourself nations scatter.
4Your spoil [of Israel’s foe] is gathered [by the people of Jerusalem] as the caterpillar gathers;
As locusts swarming so people swarm on it.
5The Lord is exalted, for He dwells on high;
He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6And He will be the security and stability of your times,
A treasure of salvation, wisdom and knowledge;
The fear of the Lord is your treasure.
7Now look, their brave men shout outside;
The ambassadors [seeking a treaty] of peace weep bitterly.
8The highways are deserted, the traveler has ceased [to appear].
The enemy has broken the covenant, he has rejected the #The DSS read witnesses.cities,
He has no regard for [any] man.
9The land mourns and dries out,
Lebanon is shamed and [its lush foliage] withers;
# The fertile pasture region south of Mt. Carmel. Sharon is like a desert plain,
And #The fertile plateau east of the Jordan River.Bashan and [Mount] Carmel shake off their leaves.
10“Now I will arise,” says the Lord.
“Now I will be exalted; now I will be lifted up.
11You have conceived dried grass, you will give birth to stubble;
My breath is a fire that will consume you.
12The peoples will be burned to lime,
Like thorns cut down which are burned in the fire.
13“You who are far away, hear what I have done;
And you who are near, acknowledge My might.”
14The sinners in Zion are terrified;
Trembling has seized the godless.
[They cry] “Who among us can live with the consuming fire?
Who among us can live with everlasting burning?”
15He who walks righteously and speaks with integrity,
Who rejects gain from fraud and from oppression,
Who shakes his hand free from the taking of bribes,
Who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed
And shuts his eyes to avoid looking upon evil;
16He will dwell on the heights,
His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks,
His bread will be given him;
His water will be permanent.
17Your eyes will see the King in His beauty;
They will see a far-distant land.
18Your mind will meditate on the terror [asking]:
“Where is he who counts?
Where is he who weighs [the tribute]?
Where is he who counts the towers?”
19You will no longer see the fierce and insolent people,
A people of unintelligible speech which no one comprehends,
Of a strange and stammering tongue which no one understands.
20Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts and observances;
Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a undisturbed settlement,
A tent which will not be taken down;
Not one of its stakes will ever be pulled up,
Nor any of its ropes be severed.
21But there the mighty and magnificent Lord will be for us
A place of broad rivers and streams,
Where no oar-driven boat will go,
And on which no mighty and stately ship will pass.
22For the Lord is our Judge,
The Lord is our Ruler,
The Lord is our King;
He will save us.
23Your ship’s ropes (tackle) hang loose;
They cannot hold the base of their mast firmly,
Nor spread out the sail.
Then an abundance of spoil and plunder will be divided;
Even the lame will take the plunder.
24And no inhabitant [of Zion] will say, “I am sick”;
The people who dwell there will be forgiven their wickedness [their sin, their injustice, their wrongdoing].
