33 Obadiah

13 Isaiah 33:1
¹Woe to you who plunder, but you will not plunder, and let no one deal treacherously among you; for when you seek to plunder, they will plunder you; and when you seek to deal treacherously, they will deal treacherously with you.

13 Isaiah 33:2-13
²Yahvah, be gracious to us; for in you is our trust; be our helper every morning, also our salvation in the time of distress.
³At the noise of your tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of yourself the nations were scattered.
⁴From now on, your spoil will be gathered like the gathering of the caterpillar; as a swarm of locusts when it is gathered together.

⁵Yahvah is exalted, for he lives on high; he has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
⁶And faith will be the stability of your times, and your salvation in a place of refuge; wisdom and knowledge and the reverence of Yahvah is his treasure.

⁷If he should be seen by them they will howl violently; the ambassadors of peace will weep bitterly.
⁸The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceases, and the contract is broken; the cities are despised, and there is no regard for man.
⁹The land mourns and languishes; Lebanon is ashamed and confounded; Sharon has become like a desert plain; and Bashan and Carmel are desolate.

¹⁰Now I will arise says Yahvah; now I will be exalted; now I will lift up myself.
¹¹You will conceive thorns, you will bring forth stubble; your breath, as fire, will devour you.
¹²And the peoples will be as the burning of lime; as thorns that are gathered together they will be burned in the fire.

¹³Hear, you who are far off, what I have done; and you who are near, acknowledge my might.

13 Isaiah 33:14-16
¹⁴The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling has seized the heathen. Who among us will live with devouring fire? Who among us will live with everlasting burnings?
¹⁵He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly; he who despises treachery and oppression, who refuses to accept a bribe, who stops his ears that he may not hear of bloodshed, and shuts his eyes that he may not see evil.
¹⁶He will live on high; his place of defense will be the precipice of rocks; his bread will be given him; his water will be sure.

13 Isaiah 33:17-34:0
¹⁷Your eyes will see the king in his beauty; they will look at the lands that are far off.
¹⁸Your heart will learn reverence. Where is the scribe? Where is the weigher? Where is he who counted towers for a mighty people?
¹⁹You will not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech, of a stammering tongue, so that he cannot be understood.
²⁰Look on Zion, the city of our solemnities; your eyes will see Jerusalem a rich habitation, a tent that will not be shaken to and fro; whose pegs will never be removed, nor will any of its cords be broken.
²¹For there the name of Yahvah is glorious to us; he will be for us a place of light, an enlightenment, and an open space made by the hand; in which the authority of a prince will not reign, nor will the mighty one be able to invade it.
²²For Yahvah is our judge, Yahvah is our lawgiver, Yahvah is our king; and he is our savior.

²³Your riggings are loosed; they could not well hold straight their mast, they could not spread the sail; until they have divided the prey, a multitude of lame will take it.
²⁴And the inhabitant will not say, I am sick; the people who live in it will be forgiven their iniquity.
