Isaiah 33:15-24

Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

15One who walks righteously and speaks with integrity,

One who rejects unjust gain

And shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe;

One who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed

And shuts his eyes from looking at evil;

16He will dwell on the heights,

His refuge will be the impregnable rock;

His bread will be given him,

His water will be sure.

17Your eyes will see the King in His beauty;

They will see a distant land.

18Your heart will meditate on terror:

“Where is one who counts?

Where is one who weighs?

Where is one who counts the towers?”

19You will no longer see a fierce people,

A people of unintelligible speech which no one comprehends,

Of a stammering tongue which no one understands.

20Look at Zion, the city of our appointed feasts;

Your eyes will see Jerusalem, an undisturbed settlement,

A tent which will not be folded;

Its stakes will never be pulled up,

Nor any of its ropes be torn apart.

21But there the majestic One, the Lord, will be for us

A place of rivers and wide canals

On which no boat with oars will go,

And on which no mighty ship will pass—

22For the Lord is our judge,

The Lord is our lawgiver,

The Lord is our king;

He will save us—

23Your ship’s tackle hangs slack;

It cannot hold the base of its mast firmly,

Nor spread out the sail.

Then the prey of an abundant spoil will be divided;

Those who limp will take the plunder.

24And no resident will say, “I am sick”;

The people who live there will be forgiven their wrongdoing.
