Isaiah 33:1-3
Contemporary English Version

Jerusalem Will Be Safe

33 You defeated my people.
    Now you're in for trouble!
You've never been destroyed,
    but you will be destroyed;
you've never been betrayed,
    but you will be betrayed.
When you have finished
    destroying and betraying,
you will be destroyed
    and betrayed in return.

2 Please, Lord, be kind to us!
    We depend on you.
Make us strong each morning,
and come to save us
    when we are in trouble.
3 Nations scatter when you roar
    and show your greatness.[a]
