When thou hast ceased to destroy, thou shalt be destroyed; and when thou hast made an end of dealing treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee. 33:2 O Jehovah, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou our arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble. 33:3 At the noise of the tumult the peoples are fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations are scattered. 33:4 And your spoil shall be gathered as the caterpillar gathereth: as locusts leap shall men leap upon it. 33:5 Jehovah is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with justice and righteousness. 33:6 And there shall be stability in thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge: the fear of Jehovah is thy treasure. 33:7 Behold, their valiant ones cry without; the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly. 33:8 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: [the enemy] hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth not man. 33:9 The land mourneth and languisheth; Lebanon is confounded and withereth away; Sharon is like a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off [their leaves]. 33:10 Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; now will I lift up myself; now will I be exalted. 33:11 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire that shall devour you. 33:12 And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime, as thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire. 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; trembling hath seized the godless ones: Who among us can dwell with the devouring fire? who among us can 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 taking a bribe, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from looking upon evil: 33:16 He shall dwell on high; his place of defence shall be the munitions of rocks; his bread shall be given [him]; his waters shall be sure. 33:17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold a land that reacheth afar. 33:18 Thy heart shall muse on the terror: Where is he that counted, where is he that weighed [the tribute]? where is he that counted the towers? 33:19 Thou shalt not see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that thou canst not comprehend, of a strange 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 tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken. 33:21 But there Jehovah will be with us in majesty, a place of broad rivers and streams, wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby. 33:22 For Jehovah is our judge, Jehovah is our lawgiver, Jehovah is our king; he will save us. 33:23 Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not strengthen the foot of their mast, they could not spread the sail: then was the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame took the prey. 33:24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
