Isaiah 33:1–13

Woe to thee ^athat spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled;

And ^bdealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee!

^cWhen 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.

²O Lord, be gracious unto us; ^dwe have waited for thee:

^eBe thou their arm ^fevery morning,

Our salvation also in the time of trouble.

³At the noise of the tumult the people fled;

^gAt the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.

⁴And ^ayour spoil shall be ^hgathered like the gathering of ⁱthe caterpiller:

As the running to and fro of locusts shall he ^krun upon them.

^5lThe Lord is exalted; for he dwelleth on high:

He hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.

⁶And wisdom and knowledge shall be

^mThe stability of thy times, and ⁿstrength of ^†salvation:

The fear of the Lord is his treasure.

⁷Behold, their ^||valiant ones shall cry without:

^oThe ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.

^8pThe highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth:

He ^qhath broken the covenant,

^rHe hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.

^9sThe earth mourneth and ^tlanguisheth:

^uLebanon is ashamed and ^||hewn down:

^uSharon is like a wilderness;

And ^vBashan and ^uCarmel ^wshake off their fruits.

^10xNow will I rise, saith the Lord;

Now will I be exalted;

Now will I lift up myself.

^11yYe shall conceive ^zchaff, ^yye shall bring forth ^zstubble:

Your breath, as fire, shall devour you.

¹²And the people shall be as the burnings of lime:

^aAs thorns ^bcut up shall they be burned in the fire.

¹³Hear, ^cye that are far off, what I have done;

And, ^cye that are near, acknowledge my might.
