21 There the Lord will be with us in majesty,
as in a place with wide rivers and streams,
where no enemy warship can row,
where no sailing ship can slip past.
22 Because the Lord is our judge,
the Lord is our lawgiver,
and the Lord is our king,
he is the one who will save us.

23 Your rigging hangs loose.
The mast is not steady.
The sail is not set.[a]

When they divide all the plunder,
there will be so much that even the crippled will take part.

  1. Isaiah 33:23 Or Your ropes are loose. Their flagpole is not firmly set, and the flag will not fly. But see verse 21.

21 There the Lord will be our Mighty(A) One.
    It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams.(B)
No galley with oars will ride them,
    no mighty ship(C) will sail them.
22 For the Lord is our judge,(D)
    the Lord is our lawgiver,(E)
the Lord is our king;(F)
    it is he who will save(G) us.

23 Your rigging hangs loose:
    The mast is not held secure,
    the sail is not spread.
Then an abundance of spoils will be divided
    and even the lame(H) will carry off plunder.(I)
