Isaiah 33 Ah, for them that ill-treat you, but you none ill-treateth; and he that setteth at nought setteth not you at nought; they that set at nought shall be taken and shall be delivered up; and like a moth upon a garment, so shall they be crushed.

Ottley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Ah, for them that ill-treat you, but you none ill-treateth; and he that setteth at nought setteth not you at nought; they that set at nought shall be taken and shall be delivered up; and like a moth upon a garment, so shall they be crushed. ² O Lord, have mercy upon us, for in thee do we trust; the seed of the disobedient hath fallen into destruction, but our salvation is in a time of affliction. ³ Because of the voice of the fear of thee, peoples shrank away, from the fear of thee, and the nations were scattered. ⁴ But now shall your spoils, from small and great, be gathered together; like as if one gathereth locusts, so shall they make sport upon you. ⁵ Holy is God that dwelleth on high; Zion is filled with judgment, and with righteousness. ⁶ By a law shall they be delivered up; in treasures is your salvation; therein is wisdom and knowledge, and reverence towards the Lord; these are the treasures of righteousness. ⁷ Behold now, in your fear shall they be afraid; they whom ye feared shall be afraid because of you; for messengers shall be sent, claiming peace, weeping bitterly, entreating for peace. ⁸ For their paths shall be made desolate; for the fear of the nations is ceased, and their covenant with these is removed, and ye shall not reckon them as men. ⁹ The earth mourneth, Lebanon is ashamed, Sharon becometh marshes; Galilee shall be made manifest, and Carmel. ¹⁰ Now will I rise up, saith the Lord, now will I be glorified, now will I be uplifted. ¹¹ Now shall ye see, now shall ye be ashamed; vain shall be the strength of your spirit, fire shall devour you. ¹² And the nations shall be burnt up, as a thorn cast upon a field and burnt up. ¹³ They that are from afar off shall hear what I have done; they that draw near shall learn my strength. ¹⁴ The transgressors in Zion have stood aloof: trembling shall take hold of the ungodly. Who shall declare unto you that a fire is burning? who shall declare unto you the place that is for ever? ¹⁵ One that walketh in mghteousness, speaking in a straight way, hating transgression and wrong doing, and shaking off his hands from gifts; that maketh his ears dull, that he may not hear a judgment of blood; that closeth his eyes, that he may not see wrongdoing, ¹⁶ He shail dwell in a lofty cavern of a strong rock; bread shall be given unto him, and his water (is) sure. ¹⁷ Ye shall see a king with glory, and your eyes shall behold a land from afar off. ¹⁸ Your soul shall meditate on the fear of the Lord; where are the scribes? where are the counsellors? where is he that counted them that were nourished up together, ¹⁹ A small and a great people? with whom they took not counsel, neither understood he their deep speech: ²⁰ Behold Zion our city, our salvation; thine eyes shall see Jerusalem, it is a wealthy city, tents which shall not be shaken, nor shall the stakes of the tent thereof be disturbed for ever, nor its cords broken: ²¹ For the name of the Lord is great. Ye shall have a place, rivers and canals, wide and spacious; thou shalt not go by this way, neither shall a ship go driving along. ²² For my God is great; he will not pass me by; the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our ruler, the Lord is our king; the Lord, he shall save us. ²³ Thy cords are broken, for they were not strong; thy mast hath bent, it will not loosen the sails, it will not lift up a signal, until it be given up for plunder; therefore shall many lame take plunder. ²⁴ And the people that dwelleth among them shall not say, I am faint; for their sin is forgiven.
