Isaiah 33:7-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 Listen! The people of Ariel[a] cry out in the streets;
the envoys of peace weep bitterly.(A)
8 The highways are deserted;
travelers have quit the road.
The treaty is broken;
its oaths[b] are despised,
the people are disregarded.
9 The land mourns and languishes;
Lebanon is confounded and withers away;
Sharon is like a desert,
and Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
Isaiah 33:7-9
International Standard Version
Israel’s Unenviable Plight
7 “Listen! Their brave men cry out in the streets;
the envoys of peace weep bitterly.
8 The highways are deserted;
travelers have quit the road.
The enemy[a] has broken treaties;
he despises their witnesses,[b]
and respects no one.
9 The land mourns and wastes away;
Lebanon feels ashamed and withers.
Sharon is like a desert;
Bashan[c] and Carmel shake off their leaves.”
