Verse 1

New King James Version:

:Woe to you who plunder, though you have not been plundered;

:And you who deal treacherously, though they have not dealt treacherously with you!

:When you cease plundering,

:You will be plundered;

:When you make an end of dealing treacherously,

:They will deal treacherously with you.

Verse 20

New King James Version:

:Zion, the city of our appointed feasts

The reference is to the three pilgrimage festivals of Pesach (Passover), Shavuot (Weeks or Pentecost), and Sukkot (Tabernacles, Tents or Booths) when the ancient Israelites living in the Kingdom of Judah would make a pilgrimage to the Temple in Jerusalem.

Verses 21 and 23a

Revised Standard Version:

: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.

::...

:Your tackle hangs loose;

::it cannot hold the mast firm in its place,

::or keep the sail spread out.

These verses are interrupted by verse 22, which is better placed after verse 23a.Jerusalem Bible (1966), Isaiah 33

A marginal note in the Masoretic Text tradition indicates that verse 21 is the middle verse of the Book of Isaiah in Hebrew.{{cite book| last= Shepherd|first= Michael |title= A Commentary on the Book of the Twelve: The Minor Prophets | series= Kregel Exegetical Library | publisher= Kregel Academic | year= 2018 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=_iNZDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA13|isbn= 978-0825444593 | page=23}}
