Isaiah 33:2 - Forerunner Commentary

Isaiah 33:2

A Prayer in Deep Distress

1 Woe to you ^awho plunder, though you have not been plundered;
And you who deal treacherously, though they have not dealt treacherously with you!
^bWhen you cease plundering,
You will be ^cplundered;
When you make an end of dealing treacherously,
They will deal treacherously with you.

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.

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