Isaiah 33
33
1Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! When thou hast ceased to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou hast made an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee. 2O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble. 3At the noise of the tumult the peoples are fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations are scattered. 4And your spoil shall be gathered as the caterpiller gathereth: as locusts leap shall they leap upon it. 5The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgement and righteousness. 6And there shall be stability in thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of the LORD is his treasure. 7Behold, their valiant ones cry without: the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly. 8The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth not man. 9The land mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and withereth away: Sharon is like a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves. 10How will I arise, saith the LORD; now will I lift up myself; now will I be exalted. 11Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire that shall devour you. 12And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire.
13Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might. 14The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling hath surprised the godless ones. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? 15He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from looking upon evil; 16He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: his bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure. 17Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold a far stretching land. 18Thine heart shall muse on the terror: where is he that counted, where is he that weighed the tribute? where is he that counted the towers? 19Thou shalt not see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that thou canst not perceive; of a strange tongue that thou canst not understand. 20Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken. 21But there the LORD will be with us in majesty, a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby. 22For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us. 23Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not strengthen the foot of their mast, they could not spread the sail: then was the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame took the prey. 24And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.

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!
