Isaiah 33
33
1Woe to thee that spoylest, and wast not spoyled: and doest wickedly, and they did not wickedly against thee: when thou shalt cease to spoyle, thou shalt be spoyled: when thou shalt make an ende of doing wickedly, they shall doe wickedly against thee. 2O Lord, haue mercie vpon vs, wee haue waited for thee: be thou, which waste their arme in the morning, our helpe also in time of trouble. 3At the noise of the tumult, the people fled: at thine exalting the nations were scattered. 4And your spoyle shall be gathered like the gathering of caterpillers: and he shall go against him like the leaping of grashoppers. 5The Lord is exalted: for hee dwelleth on hie: he hath filled Zion with iudgement and iustice. 6And there shall be stabilitie of thy times, strength, saluation, wisdome and knowledge: for the feare of the Lord shalbe his treasure. 7Behold, their messengers shall cry without, and ye ambassadours of peace shall weepe bitterly. 8The pathes are waste: the wayfaring man ceaseth: hee hath broken the couenant: hee hath contemned the cities: he regarded no man. 9The earth mourneth and fainteth: Lebanon is ashamed, and hewen downe: Sharon is like a wildernes, and Bashan is shaken and Carmel. 10Now will I arise, saith the Lord: now will I be exalted, now will I lift vp my selfe. 11Ye shall conceiue chaffe, and bring forth stubble: the fire of your breath shall deuoure you. 12And the people shall be as the burning of lime: and as the thornes cut vp, shall they be burnt in the fire. 13Heare, yee that are farre off, what I haue done, and ye that are neere, know my power. 14The sinners in Zion are afraide: a feare is come vpon the hypocrites: who among vs shall dwel with the deuouring fire? who among vs shall dwell with the euerlasting burnings? 15Hee that walketh in iustice, and speaketh righteous things, refusing gaine of oppression, shaking his handes from taking of gifts, stopping his eares from hearing of blood, and shutting his eyes from seeing euill. 16He shall dwell on hie: his defence shall be the munitions of rockes: bread shalbe giuen him, and his waters shalbe sure. 17Thine eyes shall see the King in his glory: they shall beholde the lande farre off. 18Thine heart shall meditate feare, Where is the scribe? where is the receiuer? where is hee that counted the towres? 19Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a darke speache, that thou canst not perceiue, and of a stammering tongue that thou canst not vnderstande. 20Looke vpon Zion the citie of our solemne feastes: thine eyes shall see Ierusalem a quiet habitation, a Tabernacle that can not be remooued: and the stakes thereof can neuer be taken away, neither shall any of the cordes thereof be broken. 21For surely there the mightie Lord will be vnto vs, as a place of floods and broade riuers, whereby shall passe no shippe with oares, neither shall great shippe passe thereby. 22For the Lord is our Iudge, the Lord is our lawe giuer: the Lord is our King, he will saue vs. 23Thy cordes are loosed: they could not well strengthen their maste, neither coulde they spread the saile: then shall the praye be deuided for a great spoile: yea, the lame shall take away the pray. 24And none inhabitant shall say, I am sicke: the people that dwell therein, shall haue their iniquitie forgiuen.

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].
