Isaiah 33:17-22

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁷ Your eyes will see the king in his beauty;
    they will behold a land that stretches far away.
¹⁸ Your mind will muse on the terror:
    ‘Where is the one who counted?
    Where is the one who weighed the tribute?
    Where is the one who counted the towers?’
¹⁹ No longer will you see the insolent people,
    the people of an obscure speech that you cannot comprehend,
    stammering in a language that you cannot understand.
²⁰ Look on Zion, the city of our appointed festivals!
    Your eyes will see Jerusalem,
    a quiet habitation, an immovable tent,
whose stakes will never be pulled up,
    and none of whose ropes will be broken.
²¹ But there the Lord in majesty will be for us
    a place of broad rivers and streams,
where no galley with oars can go,
    nor stately ship can pass.
²² For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our ruler,
    the Lord is our king; he will save us.
