Isaiah 33:5
3 The peoples flee the thunder of Your voice; the nations scatter when You rise.
4 Your spoil, O nations, is gathered as by locusts; like a swarm of locusts men sweep over it.
The LORD is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 He will be the sure foundation for your times, a storehouse of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of the LORD is Zion’s treasure.
7 Behold, their valiant ones cry aloud in the streets; the envoys of peace weep bitterly.
