Isaiah 33:24

22 For the LORD is our Judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our King. It is He who will save us.

23 Your ropes are slack; they cannot secure the mast or spread the sail. Then an abundance of spoils will be divided, and even the lame will carry off plunder.

And no resident of Zion will say, “I am sick.” The people who dwell there will be forgiven of iniquity.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
