Isaiah 33 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

O Yahweh ^H3068, be ^H2603 gracious ^H2603 to us; we have hoped ^H6960 in You.

Be [fn]their [fn]strength ^H2220 every morning ^H1242,

Our salvation ^H3444 also ^H637 in the time ^H6256 of distress ^H6869.

At the sound ^H6963 of the tumult ^H1995 peoples ^H5971 flee ^H5074;

At the lifting ^H7427 up of Yourself nations ^H1471 scatter ^H5310.

Your spoil ^H7998 is gathered ^H622 as the caterpillar ^H2625 gathers ^H625;

As locusts ^H1357 rushing ^H4944 about ^H4944 men rush ^H8264 about ^H8264 on it.

Yahweh ^H3068 is ^H7682 exalted ^H7682, for He dwells ^H7931 on high ^H4791;

He has filled ^H4390 Zion ^H6726 with justice ^H4941 and righteousness ^H6666.

And He will be the [fn]stability ^H530 of your times ^H6256,

A wealth ^H2633 of salvation ^H3444, wisdom ^H2451, and knowledge ^H1847;

The fear ^H3374 of Yahweh ^H3068 is his treasure ^H214.

Behold ^H2005, their brave ^H691 men ^H691 cry ^H6817 in [fn]the streets ^H2351;

The messengers ^H4397 of peace ^H7965 weep ^H1058 bitterly ^H4751.

The highways ^H4546 are ^H8074 desolate ^H8074, [fn]the traveler ^H5674 has ceased ^H7673;

He has broken ^H6565 the covenant ^H1285, he has rejected ^H3988 the cities ^H5892;

He has no ^H3808 regard ^H2803 for man ^H582.

The land ^H776 mourns ^H56 and languishes ^H535,

Lebanon ^H3844 is humiliated ^H2659 and withers ^H7060;

Sharon ^H8289 is like a desert ^H6160 plain ^H6160,

And Bashan ^H1316 and Carmel ^H3760 [fn]lose ^H5287 their foliage.

“Now ^H6258 I will be on high ^H6965,” says ^H559 Yahweh ^H3068,

“Now ^H6258 I will be lifted ^H7426 up ^H7426, now ^H6258 I will be lifted ^H5375 up ^H5375.

“You have conceived ^H2029 [fn]chaff ^H2842, you will give ^H3205 birth ^H3205 to stubble ^H7179;

[fn]My breath ^H7307 will consume ^H398 you like a fire ^H784.

“The peoples ^H5971 will be burned ^H4955 to lime ^H7875,

Like cut ^H3683 thorns ^H6975 which are burned ^H3341 in the fire ^H784.

“You who are far ^H7350 away ^H7350, hear ^H8085 what ^H834 I have done ^H6213;

And you who are near ^H7138, [fn]acknowledge ^H3045 My might ^H1369.”

Sinners ^H2400 in Zion ^H6726 are in dread ^H6342;

Trembling ^H7461 has seized ^H270 the godless ^H2611.

“Who ^H4310 among us can sojourn ^H1481 with the consuming ^H398 fire ^H784?

Who ^H4310 among us can sojourn ^H1481 with [fn]continual ^H5769 burning ^H4168?”

He who walks ^H1980 righteously ^H6666 and speaks ^H1696 uprightly ^H4339;

He who rejects ^H3988 greedy ^H1215 gain ^H1215 of [fn]oppression ^H4642,

And shakes ^H5287 his hands ^H3709 so ^H4480 that ^H4480 they hold ^H8551 no ^H4480 bribe ^H7810;

He who stops ^H331 his ears ^H241 from hearing ^H8085 about bloodshed ^H1818

And shuts ^H6105 his eyes ^H5869 from looking ^H7200 upon evil ^H7451;

He will dwell ^H7931 on the heights ^H4791,

His refuge ^H4869 will be the strongholds ^H4679 of the cliffs ^H5553;

His bread ^H3899 will be given ^H5414 him,

His water ^H4325 will be sure ^H539.

Your eyes ^H5869 will behold ^H2372 the King ^H4428 in His beauty ^H3308;

They will see ^H7200 a far-distant ^H4801 land ^H776.

Your heart ^H3820 will meditate ^H1897 on terror ^H367:

“Where ^H346 is he who counts ^H5608?

Where ^H346 is he who weighs ^H8254?

Where ^H346 is he who counts ^H5608 the towers ^H4026?”

You will no ^H3808 longer see ^H7200 a fierce ^H3267 people ^H5971,

A people ^H5971 of [fn]unintelligible ^H6012 speech ^H8193 [fn]which no ^H4480 one comprehends ^H8085,

Of a stammering ^H3932 tongue ^H3956 [fn]which no ^H369 one ^H369 understands ^H998.

Behold ^H2372 Zion ^H6726, the city ^H7151 of our appointed ^H4150 times ^H4150;

Your eyes ^H5869 will see ^H7200 Jerusalem ^H3389, an abode ^H5116 at ^H7600 ease ^H7600,

A tent ^H168 which will not be folded ^H6813;

Its stakes ^H3489 will never ^H1077 H5331 be pulled ^H5265 up ^H5265,

Nor ^H1077 any ^H3605 of its cords ^H2256 ever ^H1077 be torn ^H5423 apart ^H5423.

But there ^H8033 the Mighty ^H117 One, Yahweh ^H3068, will be for us

A place ^H4725 of rivers ^H5104 and wide ^H7342 canals ^H2975

On which no ^H1077 boat ^H590 with oars ^H7885 will go ^H1980,

And on which no ^H3808 mighty ^H117 ship ^H6716 will pass ^H5674—

For Yahweh ^H3068 is our judge ^H8199,

Yahweh ^H3068 is our lawgiver ^H2710,

Yahweh ^H3068 is our king ^H4428;

He will save ^H3467 us—

Your cords ^H2256 hang ^H5203 slack ^H5203;

They cannot ^H1077 hold ^H2388 the base ^H3653 of their mast ^H8650 firmly ^H2388,

Nor ^H1077 spread ^H6566 out ^H6566 the sail ^H5251.

Then ^H227 the prey ^H5706 of an abundant ^H4766 spoil ^H7998 will be divided ^H2505;

The lame ^H6455 will take ^H962 the plunder ^H957.

And no ^H1077 one who dwells ^H7934 there will say ^H559, “I am sick ^H2470”;

The people ^H5971 who inhabit ^H3427 [fn]there will be forgiven ^H5375 their iniquity ^H5771.
