easts due to the coveted field and the product of the vine. 13 As for the land of my<br />

people, thorn and grass will come up, and cheerfulness will be taken away from every<br />

house. 14 As for the rich city, the houses are abandoned. They will let go of the wealth<br />

of the city and the coveted houses. The villages will be caves forever, the cheerfulness<br />

of wild donkeys, the pastures of shepherds, 15 until the Spirit comes upon you from the<br />

highest place. Carmel will be a desert, and Carmel will be reckoned as a forest.<br />

16 Judgment will rest in the desert, and righteousness will reside in Carmel. 17 The works<br />

of righteousness will be peace; righteousness will gain possession of rest, and they will<br />

be confident forever. 18 His people will reside in a city of peace, and will reside in it<br />

confidently; they will rest with wealth. 19 If the hail descends, it will not come upon you;<br />

those who reside in the forests will be confident like those in the plain. 20 Blessed are<br />

those who sow by every water, where the ox and donkey are treading.<br />

Isaiah 33<br />

1 Woe to those who distress you. But no one makes you distressed, and the one who<br />

rejects does not reject you. Those who reject will be captured and delivered up; like a<br />

moth on a garment, so they will be defeated. 2 O Lord, have mercy on us, for we have<br />

trusted in you. The seed of those who distrusted resulted in destruction; our salvation<br />

was in a season of oppression. 3 Because of the sound of your fear, peoples were<br />

astonished due to your fear, and the nations scattered. 4 Now the spoils of a small and a<br />

great person from you will be gathered; in the manner that someone might gather<br />

locusts, so they will mock you. 5 The God who resides in high places is holy; Zion was<br />

filled with justice and righteousness. 6 They will be delivered up by the law; our salvation<br />

is in treasures. Wisdom, knowledge, and piety toward the Lord are there; these are<br />

treasures of righteousness. 7 Now behold, these will be afraid in fear of you; those<br />

whom you feared will be afraid A due to you. For messengers will be sent forth<br />

requesting peace, B bitterly weeping, encouraging peace. 8 For the ways of these will<br />

become desolate; the fear of the nations has ceased, and the testament with these is<br />

being taken away, and you will not reckon them as men. 9 The land mourned; Lebanon<br />

was ashamed. Sharon became marshes; Galilee and Carmel will be visible. 10 "Now I will<br />

arise," says the Lord. "Now I will be glorified; now I will be exalted. 11 Now you will see;<br />

now you will perceive. The strength of your breath will be vain; fire will devour you.<br />

12 The nations will be burned up, as a thorn in a field is cast out and burned up.<br />

13 Those from afar will hear what I did; those who come near will know my<br />

strength." 14 The lawless in Zion stood apart; trembling will seize the ungodly. Who will<br />

report to you that a fire is being kindled? Who will report the eternal place to you?<br />

15 One who walks in righteousness, who declares the straight way, who hates<br />

lawlessness and wrongdoing, who rids his hands of gifts, who stops his ears so that he<br />

may not hear a judgment of blood, who shuts his eyes so that he may not see<br />

wrongdoing. 16 He will reside in a high cave of a strong cliff; bread will be given to him,<br />

and his water will be faithful. 17 You will see a king with glory, and your eyes will see a<br />
