23:033:005 The lord is exalted; for he dwelleth
on high: he hath filled
Zion
with judgment and righteousness.
23:033:006 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability
of thy times,
and
strength of salvation: the fear of the lord
is his
treasure.
23:033:007 Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without:
the ambassadors
of
peace shall weep bitterly.
23:033:008 The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man
ceaseth: he hath
broken
the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth
no
man.
23:033:009 The earth mourneth and languisheth:
Lebanon is ashamed and
hewn
down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan
and Carmel
shake
off their fruits.
23:033:010 Now will I rise, saith the lord; now
will I be exalted; now
will
I lift up myself.
23:033:011 Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring
forth stubble: your
breath,
as fire, shall devour you.
23:033:012 And the people shall be as the burnings
of lime: as thorns cut
up
shall they be burned in the fire.
23:033:013 Hear, ye that are far off, what I have
done; and, ye that are
near,
acknowledge my might.
23:033:014 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness
hath surprised the
hypocrites.
Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire?
who
among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
23:033:015 He that walketh righteously, and speaketh
uprightly; he that
despiseth
the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from
holding
of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of
blood,
and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;
23:033:016 He shall dwell on high: his place
of defence shall be the
munitions
of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters
shall
be
sure.
23:033:017 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty:
they shall behold
the
land that is very far off.
23:033:018 Thine heart shall meditate terror.
Where is the scribe? where
is
the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
23:033:019 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people
of a deeper
speech
than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that
thou
canst not understand.
23:033:020 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities:
thine eyes shall
see
Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall
not
be
taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever
be
removed,
neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
23:033:021 But there the glorious lord will be
unto us a place of broad
rivers
and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars,
neither
shall gallant ship pass thereby.
