Commentary on Isaiah Volume 2 John Calvin
Chapter
Isaiah 33:1-24 1. Woe to thee that spoilest, and thou wast not spoiled; and dealest treacherously, and they dealt not treacherously with thee! when thou shalt cease to spoil, thou shalt be spoiled; and when thou shalt make an end to deal treacherously, they shall deal treacherously with thee.
1. Vae qui spolias, nec fuisti spoliatus; qui inique agis, nec inique actum in to fuit! Ubi desieris spoilare, spoliaberis; ubi tinem inique agendi feceris, inique in to agetur.
2. O LORD, be gracious unto us; we have waited for thee: be thou their arm every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble.
2. Iehova, miserere nostri; in to speravimus; esto, qui fuisti brachium eorum in matutinis, etiam salus nostra in tempore tribulationis.
3. At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.
3. A voce tumultus fugerunt pcpuli; ab exaltatione tua dissipatae sunt gentes.
4. And your spoil shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpillar: as the running to and fro of locusts shall he run upon them.
4. Et colligetur praeda vestra collectione bruchorum; secundum discursum locustarum pergens illuc.
5. The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled Zion with judgment and righteousness.
5. Exaltatus est Iehova, qui habitat in excelsis. Implevit Sion judicio et justitia.
6. And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.
