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!

Isaiah 33
33
The Lord Is Exalted
1Woe to you, O destroyer never destroyed,
O traitor never betrayed!
When you have finished destroying,
you will be destroyed.
When you have finished betraying,
you will be betrayed.
2O Lord, be gracious to us!
We wait for You.
Be our strength every morning
and our salvation in time of trouble.
3The peoples flee the thunder of Your voice;
the nations scatter when You rise.
4Your spoil, O nations, #33:4 O nations is added for clarity. is gathered as by locusts;
like a swarm of locusts men sweep over it.
5The Lord is exalted, for He dwells on high;
He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6He will be the sure foundation for your times,
a storehouse of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge.
The fear of the Lord is Zion’s treasure.
7Behold, their valiant ones cry aloud in the streets;
the envoys of peace weep bitterly.
8The highways are deserted;
travel has ceased.
The treaty #33:8 Forms of the Hebrew berit are translated in most passages as covenant. has been broken,
the witnesses #33:8 DSS; MT the cities are despised,
and human life is disregarded.
9The land mourns and languishes;
Lebanon is ashamed and decayed.
Sharon is like a desert;
Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
10“Now I will arise,” says the Lord.
“Now I will lift Myself up. Now I will be exalted.
11You conceive chaff; you give birth to stubble.
Your breath is a fire that will consume you.
12The peoples will be burned to ashes,
like thorns cut down and set ablaze.
13You who are far off, hear what I have done;
you who are near, acknowledge My might.”
14The sinners in Zion are afraid;
trembling grips the ungodly:
“Who of us can dwell with a consuming fire?
Who of us can dwell with everlasting flames?”
15He who walks righteously
and speaks with sincerity,
who refuses gain from extortion,
whose hand never takes a bribe,
who stops his ears against murderous plots
and shuts his eyes tightly against evil—
16he will dwell on the heights;
the mountain fortress will be his refuge;
his food will be provided
and his water assured.
17Your eyes will see the King in His beauty
and behold a land that stretches afar.
18Your mind will ponder the former terror:
“Where is he who tallies? Where is he who weighs?
Where is he who counts the towers?”
19You will no longer see the insolent,
a people whose speech is unintelligible,
who stammer in a language you cannot understand.
20Look upon Zion,
the city of our appointed feasts.
Your eyes will see Jerusalem,
a peaceful pasture, a tent that does not wander;
its tent pegs will not be pulled up,
nor will any of its cords be broken.
21But there the Majestic One, our Lord,
will be for us a place of rivers and wide canals,
where no galley with oars will row,
and no majestic vessel will pass.
22For the Lord is our Judge,
the Lord is our lawgiver,
the Lord is our King.
It is He who will save us.
23Your ropes are slack;
they cannot secure the mast or spread the sail.
Then an abundance of spoils will be divided,
and even the lame will carry off plunder.
24And no resident of Zion will say, “I am sick.”
The people who dwell there
will be forgiven of iniquity.
