CHAP. XXXIII.

The destruction of them, by whome God hathe punished his Church.

1 WO to thee thata spoilest, and wast not spoiled and doest wickedly, and thei did not wickedly against thee when thou shaltb cease to spoile, thou shalt be spoy∣led: when thou shalt make an end of doing wickedly,c they shall do wickedly against thee.

2 d O Lord, haue mercie vpon vs, we haue waited for thee: be thou, (which was)e their 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in: the morning, our helpe also in ti∣me of trouble.

3 At the noise of the tumult, thef people fled: at thineg exalting the nations were scatered.

4 And your spoile shal be gathered (like) the gathering ofh caterpillers: andi he shal go agaynste him like the leaping of grashop∣pers.

5 The Lord is exalted: for he dwelleth on hie: he 〈◊〉〈◊〉 filled Ziôn with iudgement & iustice.

6 And there shalbe stabilitie ofk thy times, strength, saluacion, wisdome and know∣ledge: (for) the feare of the Lord shalbe his treasure.

7 Beholde,l their messengers shal crye with∣out, and them ambassadours of peace shall wepe bitterly.

8 Then paths are waste, the waifaring man ceaseth: he hathe broken the couenāt: he hath cōtēned the cities he regarded no mā

9 The earth mourneth and fainteth: Leba∣non is a shamed, and hewen downe:o Sha∣rôn is like a wildernes, and Bashán is sha∣ken and Carmél.

10 Now wil Ip arise, saith the Lord: now wil I be exalted, now wil I lift vp my self.

11 q Ye shal cōceiue chaffe (and) bring for the stubble: the fyre of your breth shal deuou∣re you.

12 And the people shalbe (as) the burning of lime (and as) the thornes cut vp, shal they be burnt in the fyre.

13 He are, ye that arer farre of, what I haue do ne, & ye that are nere, knowe my power.

14 Thes sinners in Ziôn: are afraied: a feare is come vpon the hypocrites: who among vs shal dwell with the deuoring fyre? who a∣mōg vs shal dwel with the euerlasting bur nings,

15 He that walketh in iustice, and speaketh righteous things, refusing gaine of oppres 〈◊〉〈◊〉, shaking his handes from taking of giftes stopping his eares from hearing of blood, & shutting his eyes from seing euil.

16 He shal dwell ont hye: his defence (shalbe) the munitions of rockes: bread shalbe gi∣uen him (and) his waters shal be sure.

17 Thine eyes shalu se the Kings in his glorie they shal beholde the landx farre of.

18 Thine hearty shal meditate feare, Where is the scribe? where is the receauer? where is he that counted the towres?

19 Thou shalt not se a fierce people, a people of a darke speache, that thou canst not perceiue (and) of a stammering tōgue that thou canst not vnderstand.

20 Loke vpon Ziôn the citie of our 〈◊〉〈◊〉 feastes thine eyes shal se Ierusalem a quiet habitacion, a Tabernacle that can not be remoued: and the stakes thereof can ne∣uer be taken away, nether shal any of the cordes thereof be broken.

21 For surely there the mightie Lord (wilbe) vnto vs (as) a placez of floods (and) brode riuers, whereby shal passe no shippe with o res, nether shal great ships passe therby.

22 For the Lord (is) our iudge, the Lord (is) our law giuer: the Lord (is) our King, he wil saue vs.

23 Thya cordes are loosed: they colde not wel strengthen their mast, nether colde thei spread the saile: then shal theb pray be deuided for a great spoyle (yea) the lame shal take a waie the pray.

24 And none inhabitant shal say, I am sicke: the people that dwel therein, shal haue their iniquitie forgiuen.
