And the strength of salvation;
The fear of the Lord is His treasure.
The traveling man ceases.
bHe has broken the covenant,
1He has despised the2 cities,
He regards no man.
Lebanon is shamed and shriveled;
Sharon is like a wilderness,
And Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.
Impending Judgment on Zion

Isaiah 33:7-9
From the vision of future glory Isaiah returns to the disastrous present; the grief of "the valiant ones" (parallel to, and identical with, "the ambassadors of peace"), men of rank, sent with presents to sue for peace, but standing "without" the enemy's camp, their suit being rejected (II Kings 18:14, II Kings 18:18, II Kings 18:37). The highways deserted through fear, the cities insulted, the lands devastated.
cry— (Isaiah 15:4).
