Isaiah 33:17-24
1599 Geneva Bible
17 Thine eyes shall [a]see the King in his glory: they shall behold the [b]land far off.
18 Thine heart [c]shall meditate fear, 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 dark speech, that thou canst not perceive, and of a stammering tongue that thou canst not understand.
20 Look upon Zion the city of our solemn feasts: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that cannot be removed: and the stakes thereof can never be taken away, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
21 For surely there the mighty Lord will be unto us, as a place [d]of floods, and broad rivers, whereby shall pass no ship with oars, neither shall great ship pass thereby.
22 For the Lord is our Judge, the Lord is our lawgiver: the Lord is our King, he will save us.
23 Thy [e]cords are loosed: they could not well strengthen their mast, neither could they spread the sail: then shall the [f]prey be divided for a great spoil: yea, the lame shall take away the prey.
24 And none inhabitant shall say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein, shall have their iniquity forgiven.

New International Version
Isaiah 33:17-24
New International Version
17 Your eyes will see the king(A) in his beauty(B)
and view a land that stretches afar.(C)
18 In your thoughts you will ponder the former terror:(D)
“Where is that chief officer?
Where is the one who took the revenue?
Where is the officer in charge of the towers?(E)”
19 You will see those arrogant people(F) no more,
people whose speech is obscure,
whose language is strange and incomprehensible.(G)
20 Look on Zion,(H) the city of our festivals;
your eyes will see Jerusalem,
a peaceful abode,(I) a tent(J) that will not be moved;(K)
its stakes will never be pulled up,
nor any of its ropes broken.
21 There the Lord will be our Mighty(L) One.
It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams.(M)
No galley with oars will ride them,
no mighty ship(N) will sail them.
22 For the Lord is our judge,(O)
the Lord is our lawgiver,(P)
the Lord is our king;(Q)
it is he who will save(R) us.
