Isaiah 33:7-12

American Standard Version

⁷ Behold, their valiant ones cry without; the ambassadors of peace weep bitterly. ⁸ The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: ^[a]the enemy hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth not man. ⁹ The land mourneth and languisheth; Lebanon is confounded and withereth away; Sharon is like ^[b]a desert; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves. ¹⁰ Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; now will I lift up myself; now will I be exalted. ¹¹ Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath is a fire that shall devour you. ¹² And the peoples shall be as the burnings of lime, as thorns cut down, that are burned in the fire.
