Isaiah 33:23

God Will Protect Jerusalem

²² For the Lord is our Judge,
the Lord is our lawgiver,
the Lord is our King.
He will save us.
²³ Your ropes are slack;
they cannot hold the base of the mast
or spread out the flag.
Then abundant spoil will be divided,
the lame will plunder it,
²⁴ and none there will say, “I am sick.”
The people who dwell there
will be forgiven their iniquity.
