Isaiah 33:4

Isaiah 33:4

2 O Lord, be¹ gracious to us;
^aWe have waited for You.
Be their arm every morning,
Our salvation also in the time of trouble.

3 At the noise of the tumult the people ^ashall flee;
When You lift Yourself up, the nations shall be scattered;

4 And Your plunder shall be gathered
Like the gathering of the caterpillar;
As the running to and fro of locusts,
He shall run upon them.

5 ^aThe Lord is exalted, for He dwells on high;
He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.

6 Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times,
And the strength of salvation;
The fear of the Lord is His treasure.

7 Surely their valiant ones shall cry outside,
^aThe ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Isaiah 33:3

Isaiah 33:5 >>

Your spoil - That treasure which you have raked together, by spoiling divers people. Gathered - By the Jews at Jerusalem, when you flee away. Like the caterpillar - As caterpillars gather and devour the fruits of the earth. As locusts - As locusts, especially when they are armed by commission from God, come with great force, and run hither and thither.
