Isaiah:33
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Woe to you who destroy ,
and you were not destroyed ;
and who betray ,
and they did not betray you !
When you have ceased to destroy ,
you will be destroyed ;
and when you have made an end of betraying ,
they will betray you .
*
O Yahweh ,
be gracious to us ;
we have waited for you :
be the arm [
which attacks ]
them every morning ,
our salvation also in the time of trouble .
*
At the noise of the tumult the peoples have fled ;
at the lifting up of yourself the nations have scattered .
*
And your (
note :){+}(:
note )
spoil will be gathered [
as ]
the caterpillar gathers :
as locusts leap will men leap on it .
*
Yahweh is exalted ;
for he stays on high :
he has filled Zion with justice and righteousness .
*
And there will be stability in your times ,
abundance of salvation ,
wisdom ,
and knowledge :
the fear of Yahweh is his treasure .
*
Look ,
I will appear to them ;
they cry out in the streets ;
the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly .
*
The highways lie waste ,
the wayfaring man ceases : [
the enemy ]
has broken the covenant ,
he has despised the witnesses ,
he does not regard common man .
*
The land mourns and languishes ;
Lebanon is confounded and withers away ;
Sharon is like a desert ;
and Bashan and Carmel shake off [
their leaves ].
*
Now I will arise ,
says Yahweh ;
now I will lift up myself ;
now I will be exalted .
*
You (
note :){+}(:
note )
will be pregnant with chaff ,
you {+}
will give birth to stubble :
your {+}
breath is a fire that will devour you {+}.
*
And the peoples will be as the burnings of lime ,
as thorns cut down ,
that are burned in the fire .
*
Hear ,
you (
note :){+}(:
note )
who are far off ,
what I have done ;
and ,
you {+}
who are near ,
acknowledge my might .
*
The sinners in Zion are afraid ;
trembling has seized the godless ones :
Who among us can dwell with the devouring fire ?
Who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings ?
*
He who walks righteously ,
and speaks uprightly ;
he who despises the gain of oppressions ,
that shakes his hands from taking a bribe ,
that stops his ears from hearing of blood ,
and shuts his eyes from looking on evil :
*
He will stay on high ;
his place of defense will be the munitions of rocks ;
his bread will be given [
him ];
his waters will be sure .
*
Your eyes will see the king in his beauty :
they will look at a land that reaches far .
*
Your heart will muse on the terror :
Where is he who counted ,
where is he who weighed [
the tribute ]?
Where is he who counted the towers ?
*
You will not see the fierce people ,
a people of a deep speech that you can '
t comprehend ,
of a strange tongue that you can '
t understand .
*
Look at Zion ,
the city of our solemnities :
your eyes will see Jerusalem a quiet habitation ,
a tent that will not be removed ,
the stakes of which will never be plucked up ,
neither will any of its cords be broken .
*
But there Yahweh will be with us in majesty ,
a place of broad rivers and streams ,
in which will go no galley with oars ,
neither will gallant ship pass by it .
*
For Yahweh is our judge ,
Yahweh is our lawgiver ,
Yahweh is our king ;
he will save us .
*
Your tacklings are loosed ;
they could not strengthen the foot of their mast ,
they could not spread the sail :
then the prey of a great spoil was divided ;
the lame took the prey .
*
And the neighbor will not say ,
I am sick :
the people who dwell in it will be forgiven their iniquity .
