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
Yahweh’s Judgment and Help
1Ah, destroyer, and yourself not destroyed!
And treacherous one, and no one has dealt treacherously with him!#Many manuscripts suggest “you” rather than “him”
When you cease#Literally “finishing” destroying, you will be destroyed.
When you stop dealing treacherously, one will deal treacherously with you.
2Yahweh, be gracious to us, we wait for you.
Be our#Hebrew “their” arm in the mornings,
indeed our salvation in the time of trouble.
3At the sound of tumult, peoples fled;
because of your exaltation, nations scattered.
4And your spoil is gathered,
as the gathering of the locust,
as a swarm of locusts storming on it.
5Yahweh is exalted, for he dwells on high;
he filled Zion with justice and righteousness,
6and he will be the security of your times,
an abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge.
The fear of Yahweh is his treasure.
7Look! Their heroes cry out in the street;
the messengers of peace weep bitterly.
8Highways are deserted;
the traveler on the road ceases.
One breaks a treaty,
he rejects the cities,#A Dead Sea Scroll reads “witnesses”
he does not hold man in high regard.
9The land mourns; it languishes.
Lebanon feels abashed; it withers.
Sharon is like the desert,
and Bashan and Carmel are losing their leaves.#Literally “shaking off”
10“Now I will arise,” says Yahweh.
“Now I will lift myself up proudly;
now I will raise myself.
11You conceive dry grass, you bring forth stubble;
your breath is a fire; it will consume you.
12And the peoples will be burning to lime—
they are burned like thorns that have been cut down in the fire.
13You who are far away, hear what I have done;
and you who are near, know my might!”
14Sinners are afraid in Zion;
trembling has seized the godless:
“Who of us can live#Literally “dwell as an alien” with devouring fire?
Who of us can live#Literally “dwell as an alien” with everlasting consuming hearths?”
15He who walks in righteousness
and speaks uprightness,
who rejects the gain of extortion,
who refuses#Literally “shakes his hand from the taking of” a bribe,
who stops up his ears#Hebrew “ear” from hearing bloodshed#Literally “blood”
and shuts his eyes from seeing evil.
16That one will live on the heights;
the fortresses of rocks will be his refuge.
His food will be given;
his waters#Hebrew “water” will endure.
17Your eyes will see the king in his beauty;
they will see a distant land.#Literally “land of distance”
18Your mind#Literally “heart” will meditate on the terror:
“Where is the one who counted?
Where is the one who weighed out?
Where is the one who counted the towers?”
19You will not see the insolent people,
the people whose language is too obscure to understand,#Literally “obscure of lip than to hear”
whose stammering of tongue cannot be understood.#Literally “there is no understanding”
20Look on Zion, the city of our appointed festivals!
Your eyes will see Jerusalem,
an undisturbed settlement,
a tent that is not moved.#Literally “not he is loaded”
No one will ever pull out its tent pegs,
and none of its ropes will be torn in two.
21Rather, there Yahweh will be mighty for us,
a place of rivers and broad streams,#Literally “streams broad of hands”
a galley ship with#Or “of” oars#Hebrew “oar” cannot go in it,
and a mighty ship cannot pass through it.
22For Yahweh is our judge; Yahweh is our lawgiver.
Yahweh is our king; he is the one who will save us.
23Your riggings hang slack;
they do not hold the base of their mast firm,
they do not spread out the sail.
Then the prey of spoil in abundance will be divided;
the lame will take plunder.
24And no inhabitant will say, “I am sick”;
the people who live in it, their iniquity will be taken away.
