Isaiah 33:20-34:5

English Standard Version

²⁰Behold Zion, the city of our appointed feasts!
    ^(A)Your eyes will see Jerusalem,
    an untroubled habitation, an ^(B)immovable tent,
whose stakes will never be plucked up,
    nor will any of its cords be broken.
²¹But there the Lord in majesty will be for us
    a place of ^(C)broad rivers and streams,
^(D)where no galley with oars can go,
    nor majestic ship can pass.
²²For the Lord is our ^(E)judge; the Lord is our ^(F)lawgiver;
    the Lord is our ^(G)king; he will save us.

²³Your cords hang loose;
    they cannot hold the mast firm in its place
    or keep the sail spread out.
^(H)Then prey and spoil in abundance will be divided;
    even ^(I)the lame will take the prey.
²⁴And no inhabitant will say, ^(J)“I am sick”;
    ^(K)the people who dwell there will be forgiven their iniquity.

Judgment on the Nations

34 Draw near, ^(L)O nations, to hear,
    and give attention, O peoples!
Let the earth hear, and all that fills it;
    the world, and all that comes from it.
²For the Lord is enraged against all the nations,
    and furious against all their host;
    he has ^(M)devoted them to destruction,^[a] has given them over for slaughter.
³Their slain shall be cast out,
    and ^(N)the stench of their corpses shall rise;
    ^(O)the mountains shall flow with their blood.
⁴^(P)All the host of heaven shall rot away,
    and the skies roll up like a scroll.
All their host shall fall,
    as leaves fall from the vine,
    like leaves falling from the fig tree.
