Isaiah 33:18–20 — The New International Version (NIV)
18 In your thoughts you will ponder the former terror:
“Where is that chief officer?
Where is the one who took the revenue?
Where is the officer in charge of the towers?”
19 You will see those arrogant people no more,
people whose speech is obscure,
whose language is strange and incomprehensible.
20 Look on Zion, the city of our festivals;
your eyes will see Jerusalem,
a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved;
its stakes will never be pulled up,
nor any of its ropes broken.
Isaiah 33:18–20 — King James Version (KJV 1900)
18 Thine heart shall meditate terror.
Where is the scribe? where is the receiver?
Where is he that counted the towers?
19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people,
A people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive;
Of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.
20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities:
Thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation,
A tabernacle that shall not be taken down;
Not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed,
Neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

with their strange, unknown language.
20 Instead, you will see Zion as a place of holy festivals.

It will be like a tent whose ropes are taut
and whose stakes are firmly fixed.

its tent pegs will not be pulled up
nor will any of its cords be loosened.

a tent that is not moved.
No one will ever pull out its tent pegs,

18 You will think about what used to terrify you.
You will say to yourself,
“Where is that chief officer of Assyria?
Where is the one who forced us to send gifts to his king?
Where is the officer in charge of the towers
that were used when we were attacked?”
19 You won’t see those proud people anymore.
They spoke a strange language.
None of us could understand it.
20 Just look at Zion! It’s the city
where we celebrate our regular feasts.
Turn your eyes toward Jerusalem.

It will be like a tent that will never be moved.
Its stakes will never be pulled up.
None of its ropes will be broken.

A people of unintelligible speech which no one comprehends,
Of a stammering tongue which no one understands.

Your eyes will see Jerusalem, an undisturbed habitation,
A tent which will not be folded;
Its stakes will never be pulled up,
Nor any of its cords be torn apart.
