Isaiah 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. |
 (33:12)
"The people shall ... be burned in the fire."
What the Bible says about burning people to death
|
| 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? |
(33:14) "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.
