Isaiah 33:15-22

New King James Version

¹⁵He who ^(A)walks righteously and speaks uprightly,
He who despises the gain of oppressions,
Who gestures with his hands, refusing bribes,
Who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed,
And ^(B)shuts his eyes from seeing evil:
¹⁶He will dwell on ^[a]high;
His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks;
Bread will be given him,
His water will be sure.

The Land of the Majestic King

¹⁷Your eyes will see the King in His ^(C)beauty;
They will see the land that is very far off.
¹⁸Your heart will meditate on terror:
^(D)“Where is the scribe?
Where is he who weighs?
Where is he who counts the towers?”
¹⁹^(E)You will not see a fierce people,
^(F)A people of obscure speech, beyond perception,
Of a ^[b]stammering tongue that you cannot understand.

²⁰^(G)Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts;
Your eyes will see ^(H)Jerusalem, a quiet home,
A tabernacle that will not be taken down;
^(I)Not one of ^(J)its stakes will ever be removed,
Nor will any of its cords be broken.
²¹But there the majestic Lord will be for us
A place of broad rivers and streams,
In which no ^[c]galley with oars will sail,
Nor majestic ships pass by
²²(For the Lord is our ^(K)Judge,
The Lord is our ^(L)Lawgiver,
^(M)The Lord is our King;
He will save us);

Isaiah 33:15-22

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁵Whoso is walking righteously, And is speaking uprightly, Kicking against gain of oppressions, Shaking his hands from taking hold on a bribe, Stopping his ear from hearing of blood, And shutting his eyes from looking on evil,

¹⁶He high places doth inhabit, Strongholds of rock [are] his high tower, His bread hath been given, his waters stedfast.

¹⁷A king in his beauty, see do thine eyes, They see a land afar off.

¹⁸Thy heart doth meditate terror, Where [is] he who is counting? Where [is] he who is weighing? Where [is] he who is counting the towers?

¹⁹The strong people thou seest not, A people deeper of lip than to be understood, Of a scorned tongue, there is no understanding.

²⁰See Zion, the city of our meetings, Thine eyes see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, A tent not taken down, Not removed are its pins for ever, And none of its cords are broken.

²¹But there mighty [is] Jehovah for us, A place of rivers -- streams broad of sides, No ship with oars doth go into it, And a mighty ship doth not pass over it.

²²For Jehovah our judge, Jehovah our lawgiver, Jehovah our king -- He doth save us.

Isaiah 33:15-22

New American Standard Bible

¹⁵One who ^(A)walks righteously and speaks with integrity,
One who rejects ^[a]unjust gain
And shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe;
One who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed
And ^(B)shuts his eyes from looking at evil;
¹⁶He will dwell on the heights,
^(C)His refuge will be the ^[b]impregnable rock;
^(D)His bread will be given him,
His water will be sure.

¹⁷Your eyes will see ^(E)the King in His beauty;
They will see ^(F)a distant land.
¹⁸Your heart will meditate on ^(G)terror:
“Where is ^(H)one who counts?
Where is one who weighs?
Where is one who counts the towers?”
¹⁹You will no longer see a fierce people,
A people of ^[c]^(I)unintelligible speech ^[d]which no one comprehends,
Of a stammering tongue ^[e]which no one understands.
²⁰^(J)Look at Zion, the city of our appointed feasts;
Your eyes will see Jerusalem, an ^(K)undisturbed settlement,
^(L)A tent which will not be folded;
Its stakes will never be pulled up,
Nor any of its ropes be torn apart.
²¹But there the majestic One, the Lord, will be for us
A place of ^(M)rivers and wide canals
On which no boat with oars will go,
And on which no mighty ship will pass—
²²For the Lord is our ^(N)judge,
The Lord is ^(O)our lawgiver,
The Lord is ^(P)our king;
^(Q)He will save us—
