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.

Yeshayah (Isaiah) 33
33
1Woe to you ravager, while you have not been ravaged, and you treacherous, while they have not betrayed you! When you have ceased ravaging, you shall be ravaged. And when you stop betraying, they shall betray you.
2O יהוה, show us favour, for we have waited for You. Be their arm every morning, our deliverance also in time of distress.
3At the noise of the rumbling the people shall flee. When You lift Yourself up, the nations shall be scattered.
4And Your plunder shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpillar; as locusts rush about, they rush upon them.
5יהוה is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Tsiyon with right-ruling and righteousness.
6And He shall be the trustworthiness of your times, a wealth of deliverance, wisdom and knowledge. The fear of יהוה – that is His treasure.
7See, their brave ones shall cry outside, the messengers of peace weep bitterly.
8The highways shall be deserted, the wayfaring man shall have ceased. He has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities, he respected no man.
9The earth shall mourn and languish, Leḇanon shall be ashamed. Sharon shall be withered like a desert, and Bashan and Karmel be shaking.
10“Now I rise up,” declares יהוה. “Now I am exalted, now I am lifted up.
11“You conceive chaff, you bring forth stubble, your spirit devours you like fire.
12“And peoples shall be like the burnings of lime, like thorns cut up they are burned in the fire.
13“You who are afar off, hear what I shall do; and you who are near, know My might.”
14Sinners in Tsiyon shall be afraid; trembling shall grip the defiled ones, “Who of us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who of us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?”
15He who walks righteously and speaks what is straight, he who rejects the gain of oppressions, who keeps his hands from accepting bribes, who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed, and shuts his eyes from seeing evil –
16he shall inhabit the heights; strongholds of rocks be his refuge. His bread shall be given him, his water be steadfast.
17Your eyes shall see the Sovereign in His comeliness, see a land that is far off.
18Your heart ponders fear, “Where is the scribe? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers?”
19No longer shall you see a fierce people, a people of too deep a lip to hear, of a jabbering tongue no one understands.
20See Tsiyon, the city of our appointed time; your eyes shall see Yerushalayim, an undisturbed home, a tent not taken down. Its stakes are never removed, nor any of its cords broken.
21But there, great is יהוה for us; a place of broad rivers, streams, in which no boat with oars sails, nor big ships pass by –
22for יהוה is our Judge, יהוה is our Inscriber, יהוה is our Sovereign, He saves us –
23your ropes shall be slack, they do not strengthen their mast, they shall not spread the sail. Then the prey of great plunder shall be divided, the lame shall take the prey.
24Neither shall the inhabitant say, “I am sick.” The people who dwell in it is forgiven their crookedness!
