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.

²³ Your rigging hangs loose:
    The mast is not held secure,
    the sail is not spread.
Then an abundance of spoils will be divided
    and even the lame^(S) will carry off plunder.^(T)
24 No one living in Zion will say, “I am ill”;^(U)
    and the sins of those who dwell there will be forgiven.^(V)
