← Isaiah 33:22	Isaiah 33:23 (KJV)	Isaiah 33:24 →
For the LORD [is] our judge, the LORD [is] our lawgiver, the LORD [is] our king; he will save us.	Thy tacklings are loosed; they could not well strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.	And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein [shall be] forgiven [their] iniquity.
