Isaiah 33:22-24

Expanded Bible

²² This is because the Lord is our judge.
    The Lord ·makes our laws [is our lawgiver].
The Lord is our king.
    He will ·save [rescue; ^Tdeliver] us.
²³ The ·ropes on your boats [^Lropes; cords] hang loose [^Cperhaps referring to the enemy ships or metaphorically to Judah].
    The mast is not held firm.
    The sails are not spread open.
Then ·your great wealth [an abundance of plunder] will be divided.
    ·There will be so much wealth that even the crippled people will carry off a share [^LEven the lame will take the prey].
²⁴ No one living in ·Jerusalem [^LZion; 1:27] will say, “I am sick.”
    The people who live there will have their sins forgiven.
