Isaiah 33

²LORD, be gracious to us. We have waited for you.

³At the noise of the thunder, the peoples have fled.

⁴Your plunder will be gathered as the caterpillar gathers.

⁵The LORD is exalted, for he dwells on high.

⁶There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge.

⁷Behold, their valiant ones cry outside;

⁸The highways are desolate.

⁹The land mourns and languishes.

¹⁰“Now I will arise,” says the LORD.

¹¹You will conceive chaff.

¹²The peoples will be like the burning of lime,

¹³Hear, you who are far off, what I have done;

¹⁴The sinners in Zion are afraid.

¹⁵He who walks righteously

¹⁶he will dwell on high.

¹⁷Your eyes will see the king in his beauty.

¹⁸Your heart will meditate on the terror.

¹⁹You will no longer see the fierce people,

²⁰Look at Zion, the city of our appointed festivals.

²¹But there the LORD will be with us in majesty,

²²For the LORD is our judge.

²³Your rigging is untied.

²⁴The inhabitant won’t say, “I am sick.”
