Isaiah 33:22, For the LORD [lit. Jehovah] is our judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our king; he will save us.

John Calvin said, “Let us only yield to his [God’s] authority, hear his voice, and obey him; and, on the other hand, he will shew that he is our protector and most faithful guardian.”

    • Yield to God’s authority
    • Hear God’s voice
    • Obey God
  • And on the other hand
    • God will shew that he is our protector and most faithful guardian
    • i.e., “God will save us”
