Isaiah 33:9 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 33:9

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

8 ^aThe highways lie waste,
The traveling man ceases.
^bHe has broken the covenant,
¹He has despised the² cities,
He regards no man.

9 ^aThe earth mourns and languishes,
Lebanon is shamed and shriveled;
Sharon is like a wilderness,
And Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.

Impending Judgment on Zion

10 “Now^a I will rise,” says the Lord;
“Now I will be exalted,
Now I will lift Myself up.

11 ^aYou shall conceive chaff,
You shall bring forth stubble;
Your breath, as fire, shall devour you.

12 And the people shall be like the burnings of lime;
^aLike thorns cut up they shall be burned in the fire.

13 Hear, ^ayou who are afar off, what I have done;
And you who are near, acknowledge My might.”
