“Now I will arise,” says the LORD.
“Now I will lift myself up.
Now I will be exalted.
“Now I will arise,” says the LORD.
“Now I will lift myself up.
Now I will be exalted.
Isaiah 33:7–13
Behold, their valiant ones cry outside;
the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
The highways are desolate.
The traveling man ceases.
The covenant is broken.
He has despised the cities.
He doesn’t respect man.
The land mourns and languishes.
Lebanon is confounded and withers away.
Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.
“Now I will arise,” says the LORD.
“Now I will lift myself up.
Now I will be exalted.
You will conceive chaff.
You will give birth to stubble.
Your breath is a fire that will devour you.
The peoples will be like the burning of lime,
like thorns that are cut down and burned in the fire.
Hear, you who are far off, what I have done;
and, you who are near, acknowledge my might.”
