Old Testament

New Testament

Isaiah 33:1-8 American Standard Version (ASV)

1. Woe to thee that destroyest, and thou wast not destroyed; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! 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.

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.

3. At the noise of the tumult the peoples are fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations are scattered.

4. And your spoil shall be gathered as the caterpillar gathereth: as locusts leap shall men leap upon it.

5. Jehovah is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with justice and righteousness.

6. And there shall be stability in thy times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge: the fear of Jehovah is thy treasure.

7. Behold, their valiant ones cry without; the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.

8. The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: the enemy hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth not man.
