Isaiah 33
The Judgment of God
33 Woe to you, O destroyer,While you 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 cease to deal treacherously, others will deal treacherously with you.2 O Lord, be gracious to us; we have waited for You.Be their strength every morning,Our salvation also in the time of distress.3 At the sound of the tumult peoples flee;At the lifting up of Yourself nations disperse.4 Your spoil is gathered as the caterpillar gathers;As locusts rushing about men rush about on it.5 The Lord is exalted, for He dwells on high;He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.6 And He will be the stability of your times,A wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge;The fear of the Lord is his treasure.7 Behold, their brave men cry in the streets,The ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.8 The highways are desolate, the traveler has ceased,He has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities,He has no regard for man.9 The land mourns and pines away,Lebanon is shamed and withers;Sharon is like a desert plain,And Bashan and Carmel lose their foliage.10 “Now I will arise,” says the Lord,“Now I will be exalted, now I will be lifted up.11 “You have conceived chaff, you will give birth to stubble;My breath will consume you like a fire.12 “The peoples will be burned to lime,Like cut thorns 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.”
