Isaiah 33:5-7

The Voice

⁶ God will be what holds things together,
    fast and firm during these times.
He will be boundless salvation,
    the roots and fruits of wisdom and knowledge.
Zion’s most precious possession
    is the people’s awe-filled respect of the Eternal.

⁷ Look, their stoutest men run screaming in the streets;
    their messengers of peace have broken down in bitter tears.
