Isaiah 33:6-8
New King James Version
6 Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times,
And the strength of salvation;
The fear of the Lord is His treasure.
7 Surely their valiant ones shall cry outside,
(A)The ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly.
8 (B)The highways lie waste,
The traveling man ceases.
(C)He has broken the covenant,
[a]He has despised the [b]cities,
He regards no man.
