Isaiah 33:23 Context
21But there the glorious Lord will be vnto vs a place of broad riuers and streames; wherein shall goe no galley with oares, neither shall gallant ship passe thereby. 22For the Lord is our Iudge, the Lord is our Lawgiuer, the Lord is our King, he wil saue vs. 23Thy tacklings are loosed: they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the saile: then is the praye of a great spoile diuided, the lame take the praye. 24And the inhabitant shall not say; I am sicke: the people that dwel therein shalbe forgiuen their iniquitie.

Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
- King James Version
Your tackle hangs slack; It cannot hold the base of its mast firmly, Nor spread out the sail. Then the prey of an abundant spoil will be divided; The lame will take the plunder.
- New American Standard Version (1995)
