Isaiah 33:4 Context
2O Lord, be gratious vnto vs, we haue waited for thee: be thou their arme euery morning, our saluation also in the time of trouble. 3At the noise of the tumult the people fled: at the lifting vp of thy selfe the nations were scattered. 4And your spoile shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpiller: as the running to and fro of Locusts shall he runne vpon them. 5The Lord is exalted: for hee dwelleth on high, he hath filled Zion with iudgement and righteousnesse. 6And wisedome and knowledge shall be the stabilitie of thy times, and strength of saluation: the feare of the Lord is his treasure.
