Isaiah 33:17-24
New American Standard Bible
Isaiah 33:17-24
New American Standard Bible
17 Your eyes will see (A)the King in His beauty;
They will see (B)a distant land.
18 Your heart will meditate on (C)terror:
“Where is (D)one who counts?
Where is one who weighs?
Where is one who counts the towers?”
19 You will no longer see a fierce people,
A people of [a](E)unintelligible speech [b]which no one comprehends,
Of a stammering tongue [c]which no one understands.
20 (F)Look at Zion, the city of our appointed feasts;
Your eyes will see Jerusalem, an (G)undisturbed settlement,
(H)A tent which will not be folded;
Its stakes will never be pulled up,
Nor any of its ropes be torn apart.
21 But there the majestic One, the Lord, will be for us
A place of (I)rivers and wide canals
On which no boat with oars will go,
And on which no mighty ship will pass—
22 For the Lord is our (J)judge,
The Lord is (K)our lawgiver,
The Lord is (L)our king;
(M)He will save us—
23 Your ship’s tackle hangs slack;
It cannot hold the base of its mast firmly,
Nor spread out the sail.
Then the (N)prey of an abundant spoil will be divided;
(O)Those who limp will take the plunder.
24 And no resident will say, “I am (P)sick”;
The people who live [d]there will be (Q)forgiven their wrongdoing.

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.
