NASB — Isaiah 33 — KJV

The Judgment of God

  1 Woe° ato you, O destroyer°,
  While you were not destroyed°;
  And he bwho is treacherous°, while [others] did not deal° treacherously° with him.
  As soon as you finish° destroying°, cyou will be destroyed°;
  As soon as you cease° to deal° treacherously°, [others] will ddeal° treacherously° with you.
  2 O LORD°, abe gracious° to us; we have bwaited° for You.
  Be Itheir IIcstrength° every morning°,
  Our salvation° also° in the dtime° of distress°.
  3 At the sound° of the tumult° apeoples° flee°;
  At the blifting° 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 aexalted°, for He dwells° on high°;
  He has bfilled° Zion° with justice° and righteousness°.
  6 And He will be the Iastability° of your times°,
  A bwealth° of salvation°, wisdom° and cknowledge°;
  The dfear° of the LORD° is his treasure°.
  7 Behold°, their brave° men° cry° in Ithe streets°,
  The IIaambassadors° of peace° weep° bitterly°.
  8 The highways° are desolate°, Ithe atraveler° has ceased°,
  He has bbroken° the covenant°, he has despised° the cities°,
  He has no° regard° for man°.
  9 aThe land° mourns° [and] pines° away°,
  bLebanon° is shamed° [and] withers°;
  cSharon° is like a desert° plain°,
  And Bashan° and Carmel° Ilose° [their foliage].
  10 “Now° aI will arise°,” says° the LORD°,
  “Now° I will be exalted°, now° I will be lifted° up.
  11 “You have aconceived° Ichaff°, you will give° birth° to stubble°;
  IIMy bbreath° will consume° you like a fire°.
  12 “The peoples° will be burned° to lime°,
  aLike cut° thorns° which are burned° in the fire°.

God's judgment against the enemies of his Church.

1 ¶ Woeº to thee that spoilest,ºª and thou² [wast] not² spoiled;ºª and dealest treacherously,ºª and they dealt not treacherouslyºª² with thee! when thou shalt ceaseºª to spoil,ºª thou shalt be spoiled;ºª [and] when thou shalt make an endºª to deal treacherously,ºª they shall deal treacherouslyºª with thee. 2 O LORD,º be graciousºª unto us; we have waitedºª for thee: be² thou their armº every morning,º our salvationº also² in the timeº of trouble.º 3 At the noiseº² of the tumultº the peopleº fled;ºª at the lifting upº² of thyself the nationsº were scattered.ºª 4 And your spoilº shall be gatheredºª [like] the gatheringº of the caterpiller:º as the running to and froº of locustsº shall he runºª upon them. 5 The LORDº is exalted;ºª for² he dwellethºª on high:º he hath filledºª Zionº with judgmentº and righteousness.º 6 And wisdomº and knowledgeº shall be² the stabilityº of thy times,º [and] strengthº of salvation:º the fearº of the LORDº [is] his treasure.º 7 Behold,² their valiant onesº shall cryºª without:º the ambassadorsº of peaceº shall weepºª bitterly.º 8 The highwaysº lie waste,ºª the wayfaring manººª ceaseth:ºª he hath brokenºª the covenant,º he hath despisedºª the cities,º he regardethºª no² man.º 9 The earthº mournethºª [and] languisheth:ºª Lebanonº is ashamedºª [and] hewn down:ºª Sharonº is² like a wilderness;º and Bashanº and Carmelº shake offºª [their fruits]. 10 Now² will I rise,ºª saithºª the LORD;º now² will I be exalted;¹ª² now² will I lift up¹ª myself.² 11 Ye shall conceiveºª chaff,º ye shall bring forthºª stubble:º your breath,º [as] fire,º shall devourºª you. 12 And the peopleº shall be² [as] the burningsº of lime:º [as] thornsº cut upºª shall they be burnedºª in the fire.º

The privileges of the godly.

13 ¶ Hear,ºª ye [that are] far off,º what² I have done;ºª and, ye [that are] near,º acknowledgeºª my might.º 14 The sinnersº in Zionº are afraid;ºª fearfulnessº hath surprisedºª the hypocrites.º Who² among us shall dwellºª with the devouringºª fire?º who² among us shall dwellºª with everlastingº burnings?º 15 He that walkethºª righteously,º and speakethºª uprightly;º he that despisethºª the gainº of oppressions,º that shakethºª his handsº from holdingºª² of bribes,º that stoppethºª his earsº from hearingºª² of blood,º and shuttethºª his eyesº from seeingºª² evil;º 16 He² shall dwellºª on high:º his place of defenceº [shall be] the munitionsº of rocks:º breadº shall be givenºª him; his watersº [shall be] sure.ºª 17 Thine eyesº shall seeºª the kingº in his beauty:º they shall beholdºª the landº that is very far off.º 18 Thine heartº shall meditateºª terror.º Where² [is] the scribe?ºª where² [is] the receiver?ºª where² [is] he that countedºª² the towers?º 19 Thou shalt not² seeºª² a fierceºª people,º a peopleº of a deeperº speechº than thou canst perceive;ºª² of a stammeringºª tongue,º [that thou canst] not² understand.º 20 Lookºª upon Zion,º the cityº of our solemnities:º thine eyesº shall seeºª Jerusalemº a quietº habitation,º a tabernacleº [that] shall not² be taken down;ºª not² one of the stakesº thereof shall everº be removed,ºª neither² shall any² of the cordsº thereof be broken.ºª 21 But²² there² the gloriousº LORDº [will be] unto us a placeº of broad¹¹ riversº [and] streams;º wherein shall go¹ª² noº galleyº with oars,º neither² shall gallantº shipº passºª thereby. 22 For² the LORDº [is] our judge,ºª the LORDº [is] our lawgiver,ºª the LORDº [is] our king;º he² will saveºª us. 23 Thy tacklingsº are loosed;ºª they could not² wellº strengthenºª their mast,º they could not² spreadºª the sail:º then² is the preyº of a greatº spoilº divided;ºª the lameº takeºª the prey.º 24 And the inhabitantº shall not² say,ºª I am sick:ºª the peopleº that dwellºª therein [shall be] forgivenºª [their] iniquity.º
