🌙 Isaiah 33

Isaiah 33 is a real chapter from the Old Testament. It starts, “Woe to you who destroy, but you weren’t destroyed; and who betray, but nobody betrayed you! When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed; and when you have finished betrayal, you will be betrayed.” That is not a motto invented for a poster. It is the first sentence a family hears when this page is opened at night.

Keep going a little further. The chapter also says, “Hear, you who are far off, what I have done; and, you who are near, acknowledge my might.”” Isaiah 33 opens with these words: “Woe to you who destroy, but you weren’t destroyed; and who betray, but nobody betrayed you! When you have finished destroying, you will be…” The line to keep is Isaiah 33:6: “There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of Yahweh is your treasure.” Carry the word “stability” from that verse into the rest of the day.

The line worth learning out loud is Isaiah 33:6: “There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of Yahweh is your treasure.” If the rest of the chapter feels crowded, hold that one sentence until the room is quiet.

What happens first in Isaiah 33? Then try this: Read “There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of Yahweh is…” once more. What does it show you about God? You do not have to finish every verse. You can close the book after the memory verse and still have read the Bible together.
