The land languishes in mourning;
    Lebanon withers in its shame.
Sharon has become a desert;
    Bashan and Carmel are stripped bare.[a]

    Now I will be exalted,
    now I will be lifted up.
11 You conceive chaff and give birth to stubble;
    like fire my Spirit will devour you.

  1. Isaiah 33:9 The places listed were the most fertile parts of the land of Israel. Sharon is a plain; Bashan and Carmel, wooded mountains.

10 “Now will I arise,(G)” says the Lord.
    “Now will I be exalted;(H)

    your breath is a fire(K) that consumes you.
