When the Lord Shall Come

(Isa. 33:10-22, Lowth’s Translation).
Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; Now will I lift Myself up on high; now will I be exalted.
Ye shall conceive chaff; ye shall bring forth stubble; And My Spirit like fire shall consume you.
And the peoples shall be burned, as the lime is burned; As the thorns are cut up, and consumed in the fire.
Hear, O ye that are afar off, My doings; And acknowledge, O ye that are near, My power.
The sinners in Zion are struck with dread; Terror hath seized the hypocrites: Who among us can abide this consuming fire? Who among us can abide these continued burnings?
He who walketh in perfect righteousness, and speaketh right things; Who detesteth the lucre of oppression; Who shaketh his hands from bribery; Who stoppeth his ears to the proposal of bloodshed; Who shutteth his eyes against the appearance of evil:
His dwelling shall be in the high places; The strongholds of the rocks shall be his lofty fortress: His bread shall be duly furnished; his waters shall not fail.
Thine eyes shall see the King in His beauty; They shall see thine own land far extended.
  • *
For Jehovah is our Judge; Jehovah is our Lawgiver; Jehovah is our King: He shall save us.
