UKJV - Isaiah - 33

33:1  Woe to you that spoil, and you were not spoiled; and deal treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with you! when you shall cease to spoil, you shall be spoiled; and when you shall make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with you.

33:2  O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for you: be you their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.

33:3  At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of yourself the nations were scattered.

33:4  And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpillar: as the running back and forth of locusts shall he run upon them.

33:5  The LORD is exalted; for he dwells on high: he has filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.

33:6  And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of your times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.

33:7  Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.

33:8  The highways lie waste, the travelling man ceases: he has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities, he regards no man.

33:9  The earth mourns and languishes: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.

33:10  Now will I rise, says the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.

33:11  All of you shall conceive chaff, all of you shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.

33:12  And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.

33:13  Hear, all of you that are far off, what I have done; and, all of you that are near, acknowledge my might.

33:14  The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness has surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

33:15  He that walks righteously, and speaks uprightly; he that despises the gain of oppressions, that shakes his hands from holding of bribes, that stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from seeing evil;

33:16  He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

33:17  your eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.

33:18  your heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?

33:19  You shall not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than you can perceive; of a stammering tongue, that you can not understand.

33:20  Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: your eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

33:21  But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

33:22  For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.

33:23  Your tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.

33:24  And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
