Isaiah 33:17–24

17 Your eyes will see the king in his beauty;

they will see a distant land.l

18 Your mindm will meditate on the terror:

“Where is the one who counted?

Where is the one who weighed out?

Where is the one who counted the towers?”

19 You will not see the insolent people,

the people whose language is too obscure to understand,n

whose stammering of tongue cannot be understood.o

20 Look on Zion, the city of our appointed festivals!

Your eyes will see Jerusalem,

an undisturbed settlement,

a tent that is not moved.p

No one will ever pull out its tent pegs,

and none of its ropes will be torn in two.

21 Rather, there Yahweh will be mighty for us,

a place of rivers and broad streams,q

a galley ship withr oarss cannot go in it,

and a mighty ship cannot pass through it.

22 For Yahweh is our judge; Yahweh is our lawgiver.

Yahweh is our king; he is the one who will save us.

23 Your riggings hang slack;

they do not hold the base of their mast firm,

they do not spread out the sail.

Then the prey of spoil in abundance will be divided;

the lame will take plunder.

24 And no inhabitant will say, “I am sick”;

the people who live in it, their iniquity will be taken away.
