¹⁹Thou shalt not see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that thou canst not comprehend, of a ^[a]strange tongue that thou canst not understand. ²⁰Look upon Zion, the city of our ^[b]solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken. ²¹But there Jehovah will be with us in majesty, ^[c]a place of broad rivers and streams, wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.

New International Version

¹⁹You will see those arrogant people^(A) no more,
people whose speech is obscure,
whose language is strange and incomprehensible.^(B)

²⁰Look on Zion,^(C) the city of our festivals;
    your eyes will see Jerusalem,
    a peaceful abode,^(D) a tent^(E) that will not be moved;^(F)
its stakes will never be pulled up,
    nor any of its ropes broken.
²¹There the Lord will be our Mighty^(G) One.
    It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams.^(H)
No galley with oars will ride them,
    no mighty ship^(I) will sail them.

King James Version

¹⁹Thou 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.

²⁰Look 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.

²¹But there the glorious Lord will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
