Isaiah 33:1-3, 9-12

How terrible it will be for you who destroy others but have not been destroyed yet. How terrible it will be for you, traitor, whom no one has turned against yet. When you stop destroying, others will destroy you. When you stop turning against others, they will turn against you. LORD, be kind to us. We have waited for your help. Give us strength every morning. Save us when we are in trouble. Your powerful voice makes people run away in fear; your greatness causes the nations to run away.

The land is sick and dying; Lebanon is ashamed and dying. The Plain of Sharon is dry like the desert, and the trees of Bashan and Carmel are dying. The LORD says, “Now, I will stand up and show my greatness. Now, I will become important to the people. You people do useless things that are like hay and straw. A destructive wind will burn you like fire. People will be burned until their bones become like lime; they will burn quickly like dry thornbushes.”
