Isaiah 33

Isaiah pronounces woe on the destroyer (Assyria) who plunders treacherously, foretelling their own destruction; he pleads for YHWH's grace amid distress, depicting YHWH's exaltation, fiery judgment consuming enemies like chaff, and the scattering of nations leaving spoil.[1][2][4] YHWH promises Zion as a secure habitation with broad rivers, declares Himself Judge, Lawgiver, and King who saves; the enemy's ships fail, abundant plunder is divided even by the lame, and inhabitants are healed with iniquity forgiven.[1][4][5]
