Isaiah 33:4-11 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

4. And Your plunder shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpillar; as locusts rush about, they rush upon them.

5. יהוה is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Tsiyon with right-ruling and righteousness.

6. And He shall be the trustworthiness of your times, a wealth of deliverance, wisdom and knowledge. The fear of יהוה – that is His treasure.

7. See, their brave ones shall cry outside, the messengers of peace weep bitterly.

8. The highways shall be deserted, the wayfaring man shall have ceased. He has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities, he respected no man.

9. The earth shall mourn and languish, Leḇanon shall be ashamed. Sharon shall be withered like a desert, and Bashan and Karmel be shaking.

10. “Now I rise up,” declares יהוה. “Now I am exalted, now I am lifted up.

11. “You conceive chaff, you bring forth stubble, your spirit devours you like fire.
