The Judgment of God
33 Woe (A)to you, destroyer,
While you were not destroyed;
And he (B)who is treacherous, while others did not deal treacherously with him.
As soon as you finish destroying, (C)you will be destroyed;
As soon as you cease to deal treacherously, others will (D)deal treacherously with you.
2 Lord, (E)be gracious to us; we have (F)waited for You.
Be [a]their [b](G)strength every morning,
Our salvation also in the (H)time of distress.
3 At the sound of a roar, (I)peoples flee;
At the (J)lifting up of Yourself, nations disperse.
4 Your plunder is gathered as the caterpillar gathers;
Like an infestation of locusts, people storm it.
5 The Lord is (K)exalted, for He dwells on high;
He has (L)filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 And He will be the [c](M)stability of your times,
A (N)wealth of salvation, wisdom, and (O)knowledge;
The (P)fear of the Lord is his treasure.
7 Behold, their brave men cry out [d]in the streets,
The [e](Q)ambassadors of peace weep bitterly.
8 The highways are desolate, [f]the (R)traveler has ceased,
He has (S)broken the covenant, he has despised the cities,
He has no regard for mankind.
9 (T)The land mourns and wastes away,
(U)Lebanon is shamed and withers;
(V)Sharon is like a desert plain,
And Bashan and Carmel [g]lose their foliage.
10 “Now (W)I will arise,” says the Lord,
“Now I will be exalted, now I will be lifted up.
11 You have (X)conceived [h]chaff, you will give birth to stubble;
[i]My (Y)breath will consume you like a fire.
12 The peoples will be burned to lime,
(Z)Like cut thorns which are burned in the fire.
13 “You who are far away, (AA)hear what I have done;
And you who are near, [j]acknowledge My might.”
14 (AB)Sinners in Zion are terrified;
(AC)Trembling has seized the godless.
“Who among us can live with (AD)the consuming fire?
Who among us can live with everlasting (AE)burning?”
15 One who (AF)walks righteously and speaks with integrity,
One who rejects [k]unjust gain
And shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe;
One who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed
And (AG)shuts his eyes from looking at evil;
16 He will dwell on the heights,
(AH)His refuge will be the [l]impregnable rock;
(AI)His bread will be given him,
His water will be sure.
17 Your eyes will see (AJ)the King in His beauty;
They will see (AK)a distant land.
18 Your heart will meditate on (AL)terror:
“Where is (AM)one who counts?
Where is one who weighs?
Where is one who counts the towers?”
19 You will no longer see a fierce people,
A people of [m](AN)unintelligible speech [n]which no one comprehends,
Of a stammering tongue [o]which no one understands.
20 (AO)Look at Zion, the city of our appointed feasts;
Your eyes will see Jerusalem, an (AP)undisturbed settlement,
(AQ)A tent which will not be folded;
Its stakes will never be pulled up,
Nor any of its ropes be torn apart.
21 But there the majestic One, the Lord, will be for us
A place of (AR)rivers and wide canals
On which no boat with oars will go,
And on which no mighty ship will pass—
22 For the Lord is our (AS)judge,
The Lord is (AT)our lawgiver,
The Lord is (AU)our king;
(AV)He will save us—
23 Your ship’s tackle hangs slack;
It cannot hold the base of its mast firmly,
Nor spread out the sail.
Then the (AW)prey of an abundant spoil will be divided;
(AX)Those who limp will take the plunder.
24 And no resident will say, “I am (AY)sick”;
The people who live [p]there will be (AZ)forgiven their wrongdoing.

Assyriens fall och Sions räddning
33 (A) Ve dig, du härjare
som själv inte har härjats,
du förrädare
som själv inte blivit förrådd!
När du är färdig med att härja
ska du själv bli härjad,
när du har slutat förråda
ska du själv bli förrådd.[a]
2 (B) Herre, förbarma dig över oss,
vi hoppas på dig.
Bli du vår[b] arm var morgon,
vår frälsning i nödens tid.
3 (C) För det väldiga dånet flyr folken,
inför ditt majestät
skingras folkslagen.
4 (D) Man ska förse sig med byte från er,
som när gräsmaskar förser sig.
Så som gräshoppor störtar fram
kastar han sig över det.
5 (E) Upphöjd är Herren,
för han bor i höjden.
Han uppfyller Sion med rätt
och rättfärdighet.
6 (F) Han ska vara
din framtids säkra grund,
rik på frälsning,
vishet och kunskap.
Fruktan för Herren ska vara
Sions skatt.
7 (G) Hör, deras hjältar klagar därute,
fredsbudbärarna gråter bittert.
8 (H) Vägarna är öde,
ingen går mer på stigarna.
Han bryter fördrag, föraktar städer[c],
tar ingen hänsyn till människor.
9 (I) Landet sörjer och försmäktar,
Libanon blygs och tynar bort,
Saron har blivit lik en ödemark,
Bashans och Karmels skogar[d]
fäller sina löv.
10 Nu vill jag stå upp, säger Herren,
nu vill jag resa mig,
nu vill jag visa min höghet.
11 (J) Med halm går ni havande,
och ni föder strå.
Er ande är en eld
som kommer att förtära er.
12 Folken ska förbrännas till kalk,
likt avhugget törne
ska de brännas upp i eld.
13 Ni som är långt borta,
hör vad jag har gjort.
Ni som är nära,
lär känna min makt.
14 (K) Syndarna i Sion blir förskräckta,
bävan griper de gudlösa.
"Vem av oss kan härda ut
vid en förtärande eld?
Vem av oss kan bo
vid en evig glöd?"
15 (L) Den som vandrar i rättfärdighet
och talar vad rätt är,
den som föraktar
det som vinns genom förtryck
och som avhåller sina händer
från att ta mutor,
den som stoppar till sina öron
för att inte höra
om blodsgärningar
och sluter sina ögon
för att inte se det onda,
16 (M) han ska bo på höjderna,
klippfästen ska vara hans värn.
Sitt bröd ska han få,
vatten ska aldrig fattas honom.
17 En kung i sin skönhet
ska dina ögon se,
de ska blicka ut
över ett vidsträckt land.
18 (N) Då ska ditt hjärta tänka tillbaka
på skräckens tid:
"Var är nu skrivarna,
var är skatteindrivarna,
var är de som räknade tornen?"
19 (O) Du slipper då se det vildsinta folket,
folket med obegripligt språk
som ingen kunde förstå,
vars stammande tungomål
ingen kunde tyda.
20 (P) Se på Sion, våra högtiders stad!
Dina ögon ska skåda Jerusalem,
en säker boning,
ett tält som inte flyttas bort.
Dess tältpinnar
ska aldrig ryckas upp,
och av dess tältlinor
ska ingen enda brista,
21 för Herren ska vara där
i sitt majestät.
Han ska vara för oss
som floder och breda strömmar.
Inget skepp med åror
ska där gå fram,
inget mäktigt skepp
färdas däröver,
22 för Herren är vår domare,
Herren är vår lagstiftare,
Herren är vår kung.
Han är den som frälser oss.
23 Dina tåg hänger slaka,
de håller inte masten stadig,
seglet är inte spänt.
Då ska mycket rövat gods utskiftas,
även de lama ska då ta byte.
24 (Q) Och ingen av invånarna ska säga:
"Jag är sjuk."
Folket som bor där
har fått sin synd förlåten.

Distress and Help
33 Woe(A) to you, destroyer,
you who have not been destroyed!
Woe to you, betrayer,
you who have not been betrayed!
When you stop destroying,
you will be destroyed;(B)
when you stop betraying,
you will be betrayed.(C)
2 Lord, be gracious(D) to us;
we long for you.
Be our strength(E) every morning,
our salvation(F) in time of distress.(G)
3 At the uproar of your army,(H) the peoples flee;(I)
when you rise up,(J) the nations scatter.
4 Your plunder,(K) O nations, is harvested(L) as by young locusts;(M)
like a swarm of locusts people pounce on it.
5 The Lord is exalted,(N) for he dwells on high;(O)
he will fill Zion with his justice(P) and righteousness.(Q)
6 He will be the sure foundation for your times,
a rich store of salvation(R) and wisdom and knowledge;
the fear(S) of the Lord is the key to this treasure.[a](T)
7 Look, their brave men(U) cry aloud in the streets;
the envoys(V) of peace weep bitterly.
8 The highways are deserted,
no travelers(W) are on the roads.(X)
The treaty is broken,(Y)
its witnesses[b] are despised,
no one is respected.
9 The land dries up(Z) and wastes away,
Lebanon(AA) is ashamed and withers;(AB)
Sharon(AC) is like the Arabah,
and Bashan(AD) and Carmel(AE) drop their leaves.
10 “Now will I arise,(AF)” says the Lord.
“Now will I be exalted;(AG)
now will I be lifted up.
11 You conceive(AH) chaff,
you give birth(AI) to straw;
your breath is a fire(AJ) that consumes you.
12 The peoples will be burned to ashes;(AK)
like cut thornbushes(AL) they will be set ablaze.(AM)”
13 You who are far away,(AN) hear(AO) what I have done;
you who are near, acknowledge my power!
14 The sinners(AP) in Zion are terrified;
trembling(AQ) grips the godless:
“Who of us can dwell with the consuming fire?(AR)
Who of us can dwell with everlasting burning?”
15 Those who walk righteously(AS)
and speak what is right,(AT)
who reject gain from extortion(AU)
and keep their hands from accepting bribes,(AV)
who stop their ears against plots of murder
and shut their eyes(AW) against contemplating evil—
16 they are the ones who will dwell on the heights,(AX)
whose refuge(AY) will be the mountain fortress.(AZ)
Their bread will be supplied,
and water will not fail(BA) them.
17 Your eyes will see the king(BB) in his beauty(BC)
and view a land that stretches afar.(BD)
18 In your thoughts you will ponder the former terror:(BE)
“Where is that chief officer?
Where is the one who took the revenue?
Where is the officer in charge of the towers?(BF)”
19 You will see those arrogant people(BG) no more,
people whose speech is obscure,
whose language is strange and incomprehensible.(BH)
20 Look on Zion,(BI) the city of our festivals;
your eyes will see Jerusalem,
a peaceful abode,(BJ) a tent(BK) that will not be moved;(BL)
its stakes will never be pulled up,
nor any of its ropes broken.
21 There the Lord will be our Mighty(BM) One.
It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams.(BN)
No galley with oars will ride them,
no mighty ship(BO) will sail them.
22 For the Lord is our judge,(BP)
the Lord is our lawgiver,(BQ)
the Lord is our king;(BR)
it is he who will save(BS) us.
