Isaiah 33:17 Context
15He that walketh righteously, and speaketh vprightly, hee that despiseth the gaine of oppressions, that shaketh his hands from holding of bribes, that stoppeth his eares from hearing of blood, and shutteth his eyes from seeing euill: 16He shall dwell on high: his place of defence shalbe the munitions of rocks, bread shalbe giuen him, his waters shall be sure. 17Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty: they shall behold the land that is very farre off. 18Thine heart shall meditate terrour; Where is the scribe? where is the receiuer? where is he that counted the towres? 19Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech then thou canst perceiue; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not vnderstand.
