Isaiah 33:4-6

4 Your plunder[a] disappears as if locusts were eating it;[b]
they swarm over it like locusts.[c]

indeed,[e] he lives in heaven;[f]
he fills Zion with justice and fairness.
6 He is your constant source of stability;[g]
he abundantly provides safety and great wisdom;[h]
he gives all this to those who fear him.[i]

New King James Version
4 And Your plunder shall be gathered
Like the gathering of the caterpillar;
As the running to and fro of locusts,
He shall run upon them.
5 (A)The Lord is exalted, for He dwells on high;
He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
6 Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times,
And the strength of salvation;
The fear of the Lord is His treasure.
