The King James Version Bible

Isaiah 33:1-7

  1. Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.

  2. O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.

  3. At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.

  4. And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.

  5. The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.

  6. And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.

  7. Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
