Isaiah 33:9
Verse 9 of 24. The 33rd of 66 chapters in Isaiah, in The Major Prophets.
5The LORD is exalted, for he dwells on high. He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the LORD is your treasure.
7Behold, their valiant ones cry outside; the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
8The highways are desolate. The traveling man ceases. The covenant is broken. He has despised the cities. He doesn’t respect man.
9The land mourns and languishes. Lebanon is confounded and withers away. Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.
10“Now I will arise,” says the LORD. “Now I will lift myself up. Now I will be exalted.
11You will conceive chaff. You will give birth to stubble. Your breath is a fire that will devour you.
12The peoples will be like the burning of lime, like thorns that are cut down and burned in the fire.
13Hear, you who are far off, what I have done; and, you who are near, acknowledge my might.”
