## Isaiah 33:18-20 in Context (Verses 15–23 KJV)
 
 [15 ](/kjv/isaiah/33/15) He that walketh righteously, and speaketh uprightly; he that despiseth the gain of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his ears from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing evil;****
 
 [16 ](/kjv/isaiah/33/16) He shall dwell on high: his place of defence *shall be* the munitions of rocks: bread shall be given him; his waters *shall be* sure.*
 
 [17 ](/kjv/isaiah/33/17) Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very far off.*
 
 [18 ](/kjv/isaiah/33/18) Thine heart shall meditate terror. Where *is* the scribe? where *is* the receiver? where *is* he that counted the towers?*
 
 [19 ](/kjv/isaiah/33/19) Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, *that thou canst* not understand.*
 
 [20 ](/kjv/isaiah/33/20) Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle *that* shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/isaiah/33/21) But there the glorious LORD *will be* unto us a place of broad rivers *and* streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.*
 
 [22 ](/kjv/isaiah/33/22) For the LORD *is* our judge, the LORD *is* our lawgiver, the LORD *is* our king; he will save us.*
 
 [23 ](/kjv/isaiah/33/23) 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.*
 
[Isaiah 32](/kjv/isaiah/32) [Isaiah 34](/kjv/isaiah/34)
