The 33rd chapter of Isaiah further reassures the people that it will be specifically this king, Hezekiah, who would help the people and bring them towards salvation. The new chapter begins with the key word \u201cWoe” indicating a new address to a new subject, in this case Assyria the nation known already for its plundering in 10:6 (Ibn Ezra). The Israelites pray to God to be saved from this plundering nation who had overcome many other countries (33:1-4).\u00a0 And the prophet predicts that God will save them \u201cAnd the lastingness of your times and the strength of salvation will be wisdom, knowledge and the fear of God.\u201d (33:5-6).<\/span><\/p>\n

After a review of the mourning and times of dread for the people (33:7-14), the nation asks \u2018who can live opposite this great enemy of fire (Assyria), who can live opposite the burning of eternity?\u201d\u00a0 The prophet answers that it is the king who can support the nation. The king is extolled for his many virtues (33:15): <\/span><\/p>\n

who walks with justice, and speaks the straight (truth), who is disgusted by the money\u00a0 of oppression, he shakes his hands from being supported by bribes, who closes his ears from hearing of bloodshed, and who closes his eyes from seeing evil. He shall reside in the high-places, towers of rocks is his strength; his bread is provided, his water is faithful.\u00a0 Your eyes shall see a king in his beauty, [instead of a king of a far-away land].
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

In a time of hunger, famine, and meager rations, the righteous king has his bread provided from heaven, and his water is always faithful, a never ending stream. You will no longer fear the tax-collectors evaluating the size of the city, and the foreign nation speaking a foreign tongue (33:18-19)<\/span><\/p>\n

See Zion, the city of our gathering; your eyes will see Jerusalem a serene dwelling place, a tent that will not be uprooted, that its stakes\u00a0 will not be moved forever, and all of its strings will not be detached.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rather, God will reside in and protect Jerusalem, complete with Divine strength, as if surrounding the city with a moat of protection\u00a0 that enemy warships not be able to cross. To the Assyrians, trying to cross the moat of protection, the prophet continues the parable: you are like a boat \u201cwhose cords have been forsaken [by its sailors], the mast cannot be tightened and the sails are not spread out,\u201d the boat will sink, and its treasures spoils will be divided, even to the week or limping. The Israelites that remain will be victorious, and called the nation \u201cforgiven of sin.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
