Isaiah 33:22

Compare all

20 ^aLook upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts;
Your eyes will see ^bJerusalem, a quiet home,
A tabernacle that will not be taken down;
^cNot one of ^dits stakes will ever be removed,
Nor will any of its cords be broken.

21 But there the majestic Lord will be for us
A place of broad rivers and streams,
In which no¹ galley with oars will sail,
Nor majestic ships pass by

22 (For the Lord is our ^aJudge,
The Lord is our ^bLawgiver,
^cThe Lord is our King;
He will save us);

23 Your tackle is loosed,
They could not strengthen their mast,
They could not spread the sail.
Then the prey of great plunder is divided;
The lame take the prey.

24 And the inhabitant will not say, “I am sick”;
^aThe people who dwell in it will be forgiven their iniquity.

Isaiah 33:22

For the Lord is our judge - Yahweh will be to us nothing but a source of happiness, truth, and prosperity. His presence will be to us only a blessing, and a means of success and joy. The repetition of the name Yahweh three times is common in the Scriptures.
