19 You won’t see those proud people anymore.
    They spoke a strange language.
    None of us could understand it.

20 Just look at Zion! It’s the city
    where we celebrate our regular feasts.
    Turn your eyes toward Jerusalem.
It will be a peaceful place to live in.
    It will be like a tent that will never be moved.
Its stakes will never be pulled up.
    None of its ropes will be broken.
21 There the Lord will be our Mighty One.
    It will be like a place of wide rivers and streams.
No boat with oars will travel on them.
    No mighty ship will sail on them.

    nor any of its ropes broken.
21 There 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.
