'He Filled Zion with Justice and Righteousness'. The Composition of Isaiah 33
In contrast to most opinions concerning Isa 33 this pericope is far too complex to be explained as one coherent literary unit.

Isa 33 has a short anti-Assyrian woe-cry at its bases (vv. 1+4), which once closed the woe-cries of Isa 28–32.

Second, (shortly after 539) vv. 1-5.7-12 were expanded by a salvation prophecy, vv. 6+13-24, concerning the returnees, the restoration of Jerusalem and the monarchy. |
