Despair and God's Promise of Judgment
Isaiah 33:7-12
7
Behold, their valiant ones shall cry without: the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
8
The highways lie waste, the wayfaring man ceaseth: he hath broken the covenant, he hath despised the cities, he regardeth no man.
9
The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewn down: Sharon is like a wilderness; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.
10
Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
11
Ye shall conceive chaff, ye shall bring forth stubble: your breath, as fire, shall devour you.
12
And the people shall be as the burnings of lime: as thorns cut up shall they be burned in the fire.
