Isaiah 33:17–24

17  Thine eyes shall see mthe king in his beauty:

They shall behold †the land that is very far off.

18  Thine heart shall meditate terror.

nWhere is the scribe? where is the †receiver?

Where is he that counted the towers?

19  oThou shalt not see pa fierce people,

qA people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive;

Of a ||rstammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.

20  Look upon Zion, the city of our ssolemnities:

tThine eyes shall see Jerusalem a uquiet habitation,

A tabernacle that shall not be taken down;

vNot one of wthe stakes thereof shall ever be removed,

Neither shall any of xthe cords thereof be broken.

21  But there the glorious Lord will be unto us

A place †of broad yrivers and ystreams;

Wherein shall go no galley with oars,

Neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

22  For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our z†lawgiver,

aThe Lord is our king; he will save us.

23  ||Thy btacklings care loosed;

They could not well strengthen their dmast, they could not spread ethe sail:

Then is fthe prey of a great fspoil divided;

gThe lame take the prey.

24  And hthe inhabitant shall not say, I am sick:

iThe people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
