CHAPTER 33.
WOE to thee that spoilest, shalt not thou thyself also be spoiled? and
thou that despisest, shalt not thyself also be despised? when thou shalt have
made an end of spoiling, thou shalt be spoiled: when being wearied thou shalt
cease to despise, thou shalt be despised.
2 O Lord, have mercy on us: for we have waited for
thee: be thou our arm in the morning, and our salvation in the time of trouble.
3 At the voice of the angel the people fled, and at the
lifting up thyself the nations are scattered.
4 And your spoils shall be gathered together as the
locusts are gathered, as when the ditches are full of them.
5 The Lord is magnified, for he hath dwelt on high: he
hath filled Sion with judgment and justice.
6 And there shall be faith in thy times: riches of
salvation, wisdom and knowledge: the fear of the Lord is his treasure.
7 Behold they that see shall cry without, the angels of
peace shall weep bitterly.
8 The ways are made desolate, no one passeth by the
road, the covenant is made void, he hath rejected the cities, he hath not
regarded the men.
9 The land hath mourned, and languished: Libanus is
confounded and become foul, and Saron is become as a desert: and Basan and
Carmel are shaken.
10 Now will I rise up, saith the Lord: now will I be
exalted, now will I lift up myself.
11 You shall conceive heat, you shall bring forth
stubble: your breath as fire shall devour you.
12 And the people shall be as ashes after a fire, as a
bundle of thorns they shall be burnt with fire.
13 Hear, you that are far off, what I have done, and
you that are near know my strength.
14 The sinners in Sion are afraid, trembling hath
seized upon the hypocrites. Which of you can dwell with devouring fire? which
of you shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
15 He that walketh in justices, and speaketh truth,
that casteth away avarice by oppression, and shaketh his hands from all bribes,
that stoppeth his ears lest he hear blood, and shutteth his eyes that he may
see no evil.
16 He shall dwell on high, the fortifications of rocks
shall be his highness: bread is given him, his waters are sure.
17 His eyes shall see the king in his beauty, they
shall see the land far off.
18 Thy heart shall meditate fear: where is the learned?
where is he that pondereth the words of the law? where is the teacher of little
ones?
19 The shameless people thou shalt not see, the people
of profound speech: so that thou canst not understand the eloquence of his tongue,
in whom there is no wisdom.
20 Look upon Sion the city of our solemnity: thy eyes
shall see Jerusalem, a rich habitation, a tabernacle that cannot be removed:
neither shall the nails thereof be taken away for ever, neither shall any of
the cords thereof be broken:
21 Because only there our Lord is magnificent: it place
of rivers, very broad and spacious streams: no ship with oars shall pass by it,
neither shall the great galley pass through it.
22 For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver,
the Lord is our king: he will save us.
23 Thy tacklings are loosed, and they shall be of no
strength: thy mast shall be in such condition, that thou shalt not be able to
spread the flag. Then shall the spoils of much prey be divided: the lame shall
take the spoil.
24 Neither shall he that is near, say: I am feeble. The
people that dwell therein, shall have their iniquity taken away from them.
