Isaiah 33:1-4

Rotherham(i) 1 Alas! thou plunderer, when, thou, hadst not been plundered, And thou traitor, when they had not betrayed thee: When thou hast ceased plundering, thou shalt be plundered, When thou hast left off betraying, they shall betray thee. 2 O Yahweh! shew us favour,––For thee, have we waited,––Be thou their arm every morning, Yea our salvation in the time of distress. 3 At the noise of a tumult, the peoples retreated,––When thou didst lift thyself up, nations were scattered. 4 Then shall your spoil, be gathered, as the gathering of the caterpillar,––As the swift running of locusts, is he about to run upon them.
