The
Judgment of God |
|
|
 |
| Isaiah 33:1 |
|
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. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 33:2 |
|
O LORD, be gracious to us; we have waited for
You. Be their strength every morning, Our salvation also in the time of distress. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 33:3 |
|
At the sound of the tumult peoples flee; At
the lifting up of Yourself nations disperse. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 33:4 |
|
Your spoil is gathered as the caterpillar gathers;
As locusts rushing about men rush about on it. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 33:5 |
|
The LORD is exalted, for He dwells on high;
He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 33:6 |
|
And He will be the stability of your times,
A wealth of salvation, wisdom and knowledge; The fear of the LORD is his treasure.
|
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 33:7 |
|
Behold, their brave men cry in the streets,
The ambassadors of peace weep bitterly. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 33:8 |
|
The highways are desolate, the traveler has
ceased, He has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities, He has no regard
for man. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 33:9 |
|
The land mourns and pines away, Lebanon is shamed
and withers; Sharon is like a desert plain, And Bashan and Carmel lose their foliage.
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 33:10 |
|
"Now I will arise," says the LORD, "Now I will
be exalted, now I will be lifted up. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 33:11 |
|
"You have conceived chaff, you will give birth
to stubble; My breath will consume you like a fire. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 33:12 |
|
"The peoples will be burned to lime, Like cut
thorns which are burned in the fire. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 33:13 |
|
"You who are far away, hear what I have done;
And you who are near, acknowledge My might." |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 33:14 |
|
Sinners in Zion are terrified; Trembling has
seized the godless. "Who among us can live with the consuming fire? Who among
us can live with continual burning?" |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 33:15 |
|
He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity,
He who rejects unjust gain And shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe; He
who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed And shuts his eyes from looking
upon evil; |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 33:16 |
|
He will dwell on the heights, His refuge will
be the impregnable rock; His bread will be given him, His water will be sure. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 33:17 |
|
Your eyes will see the King in His beauty; They
will behold a far-distant land. |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 33:18 |
|
Your heart will meditate on terror: "Where is
he who counts? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers?" |
|
|
|
| Isaiah 33:19 |
|
You will no longer see a fierce people, A people
of unintelligible speech which no one comprehends, Of a stammering tongue which
no one understands. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 33:20 |
|
Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts;
Your eyes will see Jerusalem, an undisturbed habitation, A tent which will not
be folded; Its stakes will never be pulled up, Nor any of its cords be torn apart. |
| |
|
|
| Isaiah 33:21 |
|
But there the majestic One, the LORD, will be
for us A place of rivers and wide canals On which no boat with oars will go, And
on which no mighty ship will pass-- |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 33:22 |
|
For the LORD is our judge, The LORD is our lawgiver,
The LORD is our king; He will save us-- |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 33:23 |
|
Your tackle hangs slack; It cannot hold the
base of its mast firmly, Nor spread out the sail. Then the prey of an abundant
spoil will be divided; The lame will take the plunder. |
|
|
|
|
| Isaiah 33:24 |
|
And no resident will say, "I am sick"; The people
who dwell there will be forgiven their iniquity. |
