Isaiah 33:23

God Will Protect Jerusalem

²²
For the Lord is our Judge,
The Lord is our Ruler,
The Lord is our King;
He will save us.
²³ 
Your ship’s ropes (tackle) hang loose;
They cannot hold the base of their mast firmly,
Nor spread out the sail.
Then an abundance of spoil and plunder will be divided;
Even the lame will take the plunder.
²⁴
And no inhabitant [of Zion] will say, “I am sick”;
The people who dwell there will be forgiven their wickedness [their sin, their injustice, their wrongdoing].
