Isaiah 33:11 Context
9The earth mourneth and languisheth: Lebanon is ashamed and hewen downe: Sharon is like a wildernes, and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits. 10Now will I rise, saith the Lord: now will I be exalted, now will I lift vp my selfe. 11Yee shall conceiue chaffe, yee shall bring forth stubble: your breath as fire shall deuoure you. 12And the people shalbe as the burnings of lyme: as thornes cut vp shall they be burnt in the fire. 13¶ Heare yee that are farre off, what I haue done; and yee that are neere, acknowledge my might.
