Step Five- A Closer Look Into RSV

Isaiah 33:17-24 Your eyes will see the king in his beauty; they will behold a land that stretches afar.

Your mind will muse on the terror; "Where is he who counted, where is he who weighed the tribute? Where is he who counted the towers?"

You will see no more the insolent people, the people of an obscure speech which you cannot comprehend, stammering in a tongue which you cannot understand.

Look upon Zion, the city of your appointed feasts! Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, an immovable tent, who stakes will never be plucked up, nor will any of its cords be broken.

But there the LORD in majesty will be for us a place of broad rivers and streams, where no galley with oars can go, nor stately ship can pass.

For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our ruler, the LORD is our king; he will save us.

Your tackle hangs loose; it cannot hold the mast firm in its place, or keep the sail spread out. Then prey and spoil in abundance will be divided; even the lame will take the prey.

And no inhabitant will say, "I am sick"; the people who dwell there will be forgiven their iniquity.

Numbers 11:10-15 Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, every man at the door of his tent; and the anger of the LORD blazed hotly, and Moses was displeased.

Moses said to the LORD,  "Why hast they dwelt ill with they servant?  And why have I not found favor in thy sight, that thou dost lay the burden of all this people on me?

Did I conceive all the people? Did I bring them forth, that thous shouldst say to me, 'Carry them in your bosom,' as  nurse carries the sucking child, to the land that thou didst swear  to give to their fathers?

Where am I to get meat to give to all this people?  For they weep before me and say, 'Give us meat, that we may eat.'

I am not able to carry all these people alone, the burden is to heavy for me.

If thou wilt deal thus with me, kill me at once, if I find favor in thy sight, that I may not see my wretchedness."
