Chapter 33

33:1   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.

33:2   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.

33:3   At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.

33:4   And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.

33:5   The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.

33:6   And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.

33:7   Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.

33:8   The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.

33:9   The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.

33:10   Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.

33:11   Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.

33:12   And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.

33:13   Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge my might.

33:14   The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

33:15   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 seeing evil;

33:16   He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

33:17   Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.

33:18   Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?

33:19   Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.

33:20   Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

33:21   But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

33:22   For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.

33:23   Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.

33:24   And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
