Read in context

Isaiah 33:21–24 · Berean Standard Bible

21 But there the Majestic One, our LORD, will be for us a place of rivers and wide canals, where no galley with oars will row, and no majestic vessel will pass.

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.

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