Isaiah 33:10
“Now I will arise,” says the LORD. “Now I will lift Myself up. Now I will be exalted.
BSB
ASV
Now will I arise, saith Jehovah; now will I lift up myself; now will I be exalted.
KJV
Now will I rise, saith the Lord; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up myself.
Now - This verse commences another transition. In the previous verses, the desolation of the land had been described, and the hopelessness of obtaining any terms of favor from Sennacherib, or of binding him to any compact, bad been stated. In this state of things, when inevitable ruin seemed to be coming upon the nation, God said that he would interpose. Will I rise - To vengeance; or to punish the invading host. The emphasis in this passage should be placed on ‘I,’ indicating that Yahweh would himself do what could not be effected by people.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
