Yeshayah 33:6-20 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

6. And He shall be the emunah (faithfulness, stability) of thy times, a rich store of Yeshuah (salvation), chochmah, and da'as; the yirat Hashem is his otzar (treasure).

7. Behold, their valiant ones shall cry in the street; the malachei shalom shall weep bitterly.

8. The mesillot (highways) lie in ruins, the wayfaring man ceaseth; he hath annulled the brit (covenant), he hath despised the towns, he regardeth no enosh (humankind).

9. Ha'aretz mourneth and languisheth; Levanon is ashamed and shriveled; Sharon is like an aravah; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their foliage.

10. Now will I arise, saith Hashem; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up Myself.

11. Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth straw; your ruach (breath), as eish, shall devour you.

12. And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime; as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the eish.

13. Hear, ye that are far off, what I have done; and, ye that are near, acknowledge My gevurah (might).

14. The chatta'im (sinners) in Tziyon are terrified; trembling hath seized the khanafim (hypocrites). Who among us can dwell with the devouring eish? Who among us can dwell with mokedei olam (everlasting burnings, see Dan 12:2)?

15. He that walketh in tzedakot, and speaketh meisharim (right things), he that despiseth the gain of extortions, that guards his palms from accepting shochad (bribe[s]), that stoppeth his ozen from hearing of dahm, and shutteth his eynayim from seeing rah;

16. He shall dwell on high; his metzadot shall be the rocky fortress; his lechem shall be given him; his mayim shall be unfailing.

17. Thine eynayim shall see Melech in His yafeh (beauty); they shall behold eretz that is very far off.

18. Thine lev shall ponder terror. Where is the sofer (scribe)? Where is he who weighs [for Assyrian tax collection]? Where is he that counts the migdalim (towers)?

19. Thou shalt no longer see a fierce people, a people of unfathomable language that is incomprehensible, of a stammering lashon, that thou canst not understand.

20. Look upon Tziyon, the city of mo'adenu (our appointed times, festivals); thine eynayim shall see Yerushalayim a quiet naveh, an ohel that shall not be taken down; not one stake thereof shall ever be pulled up, neither shall any of the ropes thereof be broken.
