Despair and God's Promise of Judgment

Isaiah 33:7-12

Behold they that see shall cry without, the angels of peace shall weep bitterly.

The ways are made desolate, no one passeth by the road, the covenant is made void, he hath rejected the cities, he hath not regarded the men.

The land hath mourned, and languished: Libanus is confounded, and become foul, and Saron is become as a desert: and Basan and Carmel are shaken.

Now will I rise up, saith the Lord: now will I be exalted, now will I lift up myself.

You shall conceive heat, you shall bring forth stubble: your breath as fire shall devour you.

And the people shall be as ashes after a fire, as a bundle of thorns they shall be burnt with fire.
