Isaiah 33:15-24

New International Version

¹⁵ Those who walk righteously^(A)
    and speak what is right,^(B)
who reject gain from extortion^(C)
    and keep their hands from accepting bribes,^(D)
who stop their ears against plots of murder
    and shut their eyes^(E) against contemplating evil—
¹⁶ they are the ones who will dwell on the heights,^(F)
    whose refuge^(G) will be the mountain fortress.^(H)
Their bread will be supplied,
    and water will not fail^(I) them.

¹⁷ Your eyes will see the king^(J) in his beauty^(K)
    and view a land that stretches afar.^(L)
18 In your thoughts you will ponder the former terror:^(M)
    “Where is that chief officer?
Where is the one who took the revenue?
    Where is the officer in charge of the towers?^(N)”
¹⁹ You will see those arrogant people^(O) no more,
    people whose speech is obscure,
    whose language is strange and incomprehensible.^(P)

²⁰ Look on Zion,^(Q) the city of our festivals;
    your eyes will see Jerusalem,
    a peaceful abode,^(R) a tent^(S) that will not be moved;^(T)
its stakes will never be pulled up,
    nor any of its ropes broken.
²¹ There the Lord will be our Mighty^(U) One.
    It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams.^(V)
No galley with oars will ride them,
    no mighty ship^(W) will sail them.
²² For the Lord is our judge,^(X)
    the Lord is our lawgiver,^(Y)
the Lord is our king;^(Z)
    it is he who will save^(AA) 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^(AB) will carry off plunder.^(AC)
24 No one living in Zion will say, “I am ill”;^(AD)
    and the sins of those who dwell there will be forgiven.^(AE)
