33:22For the Lord, our ruler,
the Lord, our commander,
the Lord, our king—
he will deliver us.
33:23Though at this time your ropes are slack,61
the mast is not secured,62
and the sail63 is not unfurled,
at that time you will divide up a great quantity of loot;64
even the lame will drag off plunder.65
Footnotes
- 61 The words “though at this time” are supplied in the translation for clarification. The first half of the verse is addressed to Judah and contrasts the nation’s present weakness with its future prosperity. Judah is compared to a ship that is incapable of sailing.
- 62 Heb “they do not fasten the base of their mast.” On כֵּן (ken, “base”) see 487 III כֵּן and III כֵּן.
- 63 Or perhaps, “flag.”
- 64 Heb “then there will be divided up loot of plunder [in] abundance.”
- 65 Judah’s victory over its enemies will be so thorough there will be more than enough plunder for everyone, even slow-moving lame men who would normally get left out in the rush to gather the loot.

For the Lord is our judge; the Lord is our lawgiver;
the Lord is our king; he will save us.
Your cords hang loose;
they cannot hold the mast firm in its place
or keep the sail spread out.
Then prey and spoil in abundance will be divided;
even the lame will take the prey.

the sail is not spread.
Then an abundance of spoils will be divided
and even the lame will carry off plunder.

For the Lord is our judge,
our lawgiver, and our king.
He will care for us and save us.

on broken masts with useless tackle.
Their treasure will be divided by the people of God.
Even the lame will take their share!

For Yahweh is our judge; Yahweh is our lawgiver.
Yahweh is our king; he is the one who will save us.
Your riggings hang slack;
they do not hold the base of their mast firm,
they do not spread out the sail.
Then the prey of spoil in abundance will be divided;
the lame will take plunder.

KJV 1900King James Version
For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver,
The Lord is our king; he will save us.
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.
