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
1Woe to you who destroy, but you weren’t destroyed,
and who betray, but nobody betrayed you!
When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed;
and when you have finished betrayal, you will be betrayed.
2Yahweh, be gracious to us. We have waited for you.
Be our strength every morning,
our salvation also in the time of trouble.
3At the noise of the thunder, the peoples have fled.
When you lift yourself up, the nations are scattered.
4Your plunder will be gathered as the caterpillar gathers.
Men will leap on it as locusts leap.
5Yahweh is exalted, for he dwells on high.
He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge.
The fear of Yahweh is your treasure.
7Behold, their valiant ones cry outside;
the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
8The highways are desolate.
The traveling man ceases.
The covenant is broken.
He has despised the cities.
He doesn’t respect man.
9The land mourns and languishes.
Lebanon is confounded and withers away.
Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.
10“Now I will arise,” says Yahweh.
“Now I will lift myself up.
Now I will be exalted.
11You will conceive chaff.
You will give birth to stubble.
Your breath is a fire that will devour you.
12The peoples will be like the burning of lime,
like thorns that are cut down and burned in the fire.
13Hear, you who are far off, what I have done;
and, you who are near, acknowledge my might.”
14The sinners in Zion are afraid.
Trembling has seized the godless ones.
Who among us can live with the devouring fire?
Who among us can live with everlasting burning?
15He who walks righteously
and speaks blamelessly,
he who despises the gain of oppressions,
who gestures with his hands, refusing to take a bribe,
who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed,
and shuts his eyes from looking at evil—
16he will dwell on high.
His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks.
His bread will be supplied.
His waters will be sure.
17Your eyes will see the king in his beauty.
They will see a distant land.
18Your heart will meditate on the terror.
Where is he who counted?
Where is he who weighed?
Where is he who counted the towers?
19You will no longer see the fierce people,
a people of a deep speech that you can’t comprehend,
with a strange language that you can’t understand.
20Look at Zion, the city of our appointed festivals.
Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation,
a tent that won’t be removed.
Its stakes will never be plucked up,
nor will any of its cords be broken.
21But there Yahweh will be with us in majesty,
a place of wide rivers and streams,
in which no galley with oars will go,
neither will any gallant ship pass by there.
22For Yahweh is our judge.
Yahweh is our lawgiver.
Yahweh is our king.
He will save us.
23Your rigging is untied.
They couldn’t strengthen the foot of their mast.
They couldn’t spread the sail.
Then the prey of a great plunder was divided.
The lame took the prey.
24The inhabitant won’t say, “I am sick.”
The people who dwell therein will be forgiven their iniquity.
