Isaias (Isaiah) 33
33
1WOE to thee that spoilest! Shalt not thou thyself also be spoiled? And thou that despisest, shalt not thyself also be despised? When thou shalt have made an end of spoiling, thou shalt be spoiled: when being wearied thou shalt cease to despise, thou shalt be despised.
2O Lord, have mercy on us, for we have waited for thee: be thou our arm in the morning, and our salvation in the time of trouble.
3At the voice of the angel the people fled: and at the lifting up thyself the nations are scattered.
4And your spoils shall be gathered together as the locusts are gathered: as when the ditches are full of them.
5The Lord is magnified, for he hath dwelt on high: he hath filled Sion with judgment and justice.
6And there shall be faith in thy times, riches of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of the Lord is his treasure.
7Behold, they that see shall cry without: the angels of peace shall weep bitterly.
8The ways are made desolate, no one passeth by the road, the covenant is made void. He hath rejected the cities, he hath not regarded the men.
9The land hath mourned and languished: Libanus is confounded and become foul. And Saron is become as a desert: and Basan and Carmel are shaken.
10Now will I rise up, saith the Lord. Now will I be exalted: now will I lift up myself.
11You shall conceive heat, you shall bring forth stubble: your breath as fire shall devour you.
12And the people shall be as ashes after a fire: as a bundle of thorns they shall be burnt with fire.
13Hear, you that are far off, what I have done: and you that are near, know my strength.
14The sinners in Sion are afraid, trembling hath seized upon the hypocrites. Which of you can dwell with devouring fire? Which of you shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
15He that walketh in justices and speaketh truth, that casteth away avarice by oppression and shaketh his hands from all bribes, that stoppeth his ears lest he hear blood and shutteth his eyes that he may see no evil.
16He shall dwell on high: the fortifications of rocks shall be his highness. Bread is given him, his waters are sure.
17His eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall see the land far off.
18Thy heart shall meditate fear. Where is the learned? Where is he that pondereth the words of the law? Where is the teacher of little ones?
19The shameless people thou shalt not see, the people of profound speech: so that thou canst not understand the eloquence of his tongue, in whom there is no wisdom.
20Look upon Sion, the city of our solemnity: thy eyes shall see Jerusalem, a rich habitation, a tabernacle that cannot be removed. Neither shall the nails thereof be taken away for ever: neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
21Because only there our Lord is magnificent: a place of rivers, very broad and spacious streams. No ship with oars shall pass by it: neither shall the great galley pass through it.
22For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king: he will save us.
23Thy tacklings are loosed, and they shall be of no strength: thy mast shall be in such condition that thou shalt not be able to spread the flag. Then shall the spoils of much prey be divided: the lame shall take the spoil.
24Neither shall he that is near, say: I am feeble. The people that dwell therein shall have their iniquity taken away from them.

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].
