Isaiah 33 Woe to the destroyer, and you who have not been destroyed; and betrayer, and they have not betrayed you. When you stop destroying, you shall be destroyed. When you stop betraying, they shall betray you.

MKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Woe to the destroyer, and you who have not been destroyed; and betrayer, and they have not betrayed you. When you stop destroying, you shall be destroyed. When you stop betraying, they shall betray you. ² O Jehovah, be gracious to us; we have waited for You; be their arm in the mornings; our salvation also in the time of trouble. ³ At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of Yourself the nations were scattered. ⁴ And your spoil shall be gathered as the stripping locust gathers; as the running to and fro of locusts he shall run on them. ⁵ Jehovah is exalted, for He dwells on high. He has filled Zion with judgment and righteousness. ⁶ And He will be the security of your times, and strength of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; the fear of Jehovah is his treasure. ⁷ Behold, their mighty ones shall cry outside; the messengers of peace shall weep bitterly. ⁸ The highways lie waste, the traveler ceases. He has broken the covenant. He has despised the cities. He cared for no man. ⁹ The earth mourns and droops. Lebanon is ashamed; Sharon withers like a wilderness; Bashan and Carmel are shaken out. ¹⁰ Now I will rise, says Jehovah; now I will be exalted; now I will lift up Myself. ¹¹ You shall conceive chaff, you shall bring out stubble; your breath, like fire, shall devour you. ¹² And the people shall be like the burnings of lime; like thorns cut up, they shall be burned in the fire. ¹³ You who are far off, hear what I have done; and you near ones, know My might. ¹⁴ The sinners in Zion are afraid; terror has surprised profane ones. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? ¹⁵ He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly; he who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes his hands free from holding bribes, who stops his ear from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from seeing evil; ¹⁶ He shall dwell on high; his refuge shall be the strongholds of rocks; bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure. ¹⁷ Your eyes shall see the king in his beauty; they shall behold the land that is very far off. ¹⁸ Your heart shall dwell on terror. Where is the scribe? Where is the one weighing? Where is the one counting the towers? ¹⁹ You shall not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than you can understand; of a foreign tongue that no one understands. ²⁰ Look on Zion, the city of our holy meetings; your eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet home, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of its stakes shall ever be removed, nor shall any of its cords be broken. ²¹ But there the glorious Jehovah will be to us a place of broad rivers and streams, in which no galley with oars shall go, nor shall mighty ship pass by it. ²² For Jehovah is our judge, Jehovah is our lawgiver, Jehovah is our king; He will save us. ²³ Your ropes are loosened, they do not hold the base of the mast; they could not spread the sail. Then the prey of a great spoil shall be divided; the lame take the prey. ²⁴ And an inhabitant, the people who live in it shall not say, I am sick; iniquity is taken away.
