Isaiah 33 Woe to thee that spoilest , and thou wast not spoiled ; and dealest treacherously , and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil , thou shalt be spoiled ; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously , they shall deal treacherously with thee.

1 H1945 Woe H7703 to thee that spoilest [H8802] H7703 , and thou wast not spoiled [H8803] H898 ; and dealest treacherously [H8802] H898 , and they dealt not treacherously [H8804] H8552 with thee! when thou shalt cease [H8687] H7703 to spoil [H8802] H7703 , thou shalt be spoiled [H8714] H5239 ; and when thou shalt make an end [H8687] H898 to deal treacherously [H8800] H898 , they shall deal treacherously [H8799] with thee.

2 H3068 O LORD H2603 , be gracious [H8798] H6960 unto us; we have waited [H8765] H2220 for thee: be thou their arm H1242 every morning H3444 , our salvation H6256 also in the time H6869 of trouble.

3 H6963 At the noise H1995 of the tumult H5971 the people H5074 fled [H8804] H7427 ; at the lifting up H1471 of thyself the nations H5310 were scattered [H8804] .

4 H7998 And your spoil H622 shall be gathered [H8795] H625 like the gathering H2625 of the caterpiller H4944 : as the running to and fro H1357 of locusts H8264 shall he run [H8802] upon them.

5 H3068 The LORD H7682 is exalted [H8737] H7931 ; for he dwelleth [H8802] H4791 on high H4390 : he hath filled [H8765] H6726 Zion H4941 with judgment H6666 and righteousness.

6 H2451 And wisdom H1847 and knowledge H530 shall be the stability H6256 of thy times H2633 , and strength H3444 of salvation H3374 : the fear H3068 of the LORD H214 is his treasure.

7 H691 Behold, their valiant ones H6817 shall cry [H8804] H2351 without H4397 : the ambassadors H7965 of peace H1058 shall weep [H8799] H4751 bitterly.

8 H4546 The highways H8074 lie waste [H8738] H5674 , the wayfaring man [H8802] H734 H7673 ceaseth [H8804] H6565 : he hath broken [H8689] H1285 the covenant H3988 , he hath despised [H8804] H5892 the cities H2803 , he regardeth [H8804] H582 no man.

9 H776 The earth H56 mourneth [H8804] H535 and languisheth [H8797] H3844 : Lebanon H2659 is ashamed [H8689] H7060 and hewn down [H8804] H8289 : Sharon H6160 is like a wilderness H1316 ; and Bashan H3760 and Carmel H5287 shake off [H8802] their fruits .

10 H6965 Now will I rise [H8799] H559 , saith [H8799] H3068 the LORD H7426 ; now will I be exalted [H8735] H5375 ; now will I lift up [H8735] myself.

11 H2029 Ye shall conceive [H8799] H2842 chaff H3205 , ye shall bring forth [H8799] H7179 stubble H7307 : your breath H784 , as fire H398 , shall devour [H8799] you.

12 H5971 And the people H4955 shall be as the burnings H7875 of lime H6975 : as thorns H3683 cut up [H8803] H3341 shall they be burned [H8799] H784 in the fire.

13 H8085 Hear [H8798] H7350 , ye that are far off H6213 , what I have done [H8804] H7138 ; and, ye that are near H3045 , acknowledge [H8798] H1369 my might.

14 H2400 The sinners H6726 in Zion H6342 are afraid [H8804] H7461 ; fearfulness H270 hath surprised [H8804] H2611 the hypocrites H1481 . Who among us shall dwell [H8799] H398 with the devouring [H8802] H784 fire H1481 ? who among us shall dwell [H8799] H5769 with everlasting H4168 burnings?

15 H1980 He that walketh [H8802] H6666 righteously H1696 , and speaketh [H8802] H4339 uprightly H3988 ; he that despiseth [H8802] H1215 the gain H4642 of oppressions H5287 , that shaketh [H8802] H3709 his hands H8551 from holding [H8800] H7810 of bribes H331 , that stoppeth [H8801] H241 his ears H8085 from hearing [H8800] H1818 of blood H6105 , and shutteth [H8802] H5869 his eyes H7200 from seeing [H8800] H7451 evil;

16 H7931 He shall dwell [H8799] H4791 on high H4869 : his place of defence H4679 shall be the munitions H5553 of rocks H3899 : bread H5414 shall be given [H8737] H4325 him; his waters H539 shall be sure [H8737] .

17 H5869 Thine eyes H2372 shall see [H8799] H4428 the king H3308 in his beauty H7200 : they shall behold [H8799] H776 the land H4801 that is very far off.

18 H3820 Thine heart H1897 shall meditate [H8799] H367 terror H5608 . Where is the scribe [H8802] H8254 ? where is the receiver [H8802] H5608 ? where is he that counted [H8802] H4026 the towers?

19 H7200 Thou shalt not see [H8799] H3267 a fierce [H8737] H5971 people H5971 , a people H6012 of a deeper H8193 speech H8085 than thou canst perceive [H8800] H3932 ; of a stammering [H8737] H3956 tongue H998 , that thou canst not understand.

20 H2372 Look [H8798] H6726 upon Zion H7151 , the city H4150 of our solemnities H5869 : thine eyes H7200 shall see [H8799] H3389 Jerusalem H7600 a quiet H5116 habitation H168 , a tabernacle H6813 that shall not be taken down [H8799] H3489 ; not one of the stakes H5331 thereof shall ever H5265 be removed [H8799] H2256 , neither shall any of the cords H5423 thereof be broken [H8735] .

21 H117 But there the glorious H3068 LORD H4725 will be unto us a place H7342 of broad H3027 H5104 rivers H2975 and streams H3212 ; wherein shall go [H8799] H1077 no H590 galley H7885 with oars H117 , neither shall gallant H6716 ship H5674 pass [H8799] thereby.

22 H3068 For the LORD H8199 is our judge [H8802] H3068 , the LORD H2710 is our lawgiver [H8781] H3068 , the LORD H4428 is our king H3467 ; he will save [H8686] us.

23 H2256 Thy tacklings H5203 are loosed [H8738] H3653 ; they could not well H2388 strengthen [H8762] H8650 their mast H6566 , they could not spread [H8804] H5251 the sail H5706 : then is the prey H4766 of a great H7998 spoil H2505 divided [H8795] H6455 ; the lame H962 take [H8804] H957 the prey.

24 H7934 And the inhabitant H559 shall not say [H8799] H2470 , I am sick [H8804] H5971 : the people H3427 that dwell [H8802] H5375 therein shall be forgiven [H8803] H5771 their iniquity.

ERV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! When thou hast ceased to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou hast made an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee. ² O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble. ³ At the noise of the tumult the peoples are fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations are scattered. ⁴ And your spoil shall be gathered as the caterpiller gathereth: as locusts leap shall they leap upon it. ⁵ The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness. ⁶ And there shall be stability in thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of the LORD is his treasure. ⁷ Behold, their valiant ones cry without: the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly. ⁸ The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth not man. ⁹ The land mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and withereth away: Sharon is like a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off [their leaves]. ¹⁰ How will I arise, saith the LORD; now will I lift up myself; now will I be exalted. ¹¹ Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire that shall devour you. ¹² And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire. ¹³ Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might. ¹⁴ The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling hath surprised the godless ones. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? ¹⁵ He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from looking upon evil; ¹⁶ He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: his bread shall be given [him]; his waters shall be sure. ¹⁷ Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold a far stretching land. ¹⁸ Thine heart shall muse on the terror: where is he that counted, where is he that weighed [the tribute]? where is he that counted the towers? ¹⁹ Thou shalt not see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that thou canst not perceive; of a strange tongue that thou canst not understand. ²⁰ Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken. ²¹ But there the LORD will be with us in majesty, a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby. ²² For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us. ²³ Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not strengthen the foot of their mast, they could not spread the sail: then was the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame took the prey. ²⁴ And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
