The King in His Beauty

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 33:1 -

Woe to you, O destroyer,

While you were not destroyed;

And he who is treacherous, while others did not deal treacherously with him.

As soon as you finish destroying, you will be destroyed;

As soon as you cease to deal treacherously, others will deal treacherously with you.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 33:15 -

He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly;

He who rejects greedy gain of [fn]oppression,

And shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe;

He who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed

And shuts his eyes from looking upon evil;

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 33:16 -

His refuge will be the strongholds of the cliffs;

A tent which will not be folded;

Nor any of its cords ever be torn apart.

A place of rivers and wide canals

On which no boat with oars will go,

The lame will take the plunder.

And no one who dwells there will say, “I am sick”;

The people who inhabit [fn]there will be forgiven their iniquity.
