Isaiah 33:17-24
World English Bible
17 Your eyes will see the king in his beauty.
They will see a distant land.
18 Your heart will meditate on the terror.
Where is he who counted?
Where is he who weighed?
Where is he who counted the towers?
19 You will no longer see the fierce people,
a people of a deep speech that you can’t comprehend,
with a strange language that you can’t understand.
20 Look at Zion, the city of our appointed festivals.
Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation,
a tent that won’t be removed.
Its stakes will never be plucked up,
nor will any of its cords be broken.
21 But there Yahweh will be with us in majesty,
a place of wide rivers and streams,
in which no galley with oars will go,
neither will any gallant ship pass by there.
22 For Yahweh is our judge.
Yahweh is our lawgiver.
Yahweh is our king.
He will save us.
23 Your rigging is untied.
They couldn’t strengthen the foot of their mast.
They couldn’t spread the sail.
Then the prey of a great plunder was divided.
The lame took the prey.
24 The inhabitant won’t say, “I am sick.”
The people who dwell therein will be forgiven their iniquity.
Isaiah 33:17-24
English Standard Version
17 (A)Your eyes will behold the king in his beauty;
(B)they will see a land that stretches afar.
18 (C)Your heart will muse on the terror:
“Where is he who counted, where is (D)he who weighed the tribute?
Where is (E)he who counted the towers?”
19 (F)You will see no more the insolent people,
the people (G)of an obscure speech that you cannot comprehend,
stammering in a tongue that you cannot understand.
20 Behold Zion, the city of our appointed feasts!
(H)Your eyes will see Jerusalem,
an untroubled habitation, an (I)immovable tent,
whose stakes will never be plucked up,
nor will any of its cords be broken.
21 But there the Lord in majesty will be for us
a place of (J)broad rivers and streams,
(K)where no galley with oars can go,
nor majestic ship can pass.
22 For the Lord is our (L)judge; the Lord is our (M)lawgiver;
the Lord is our (N)king; he will save us.
23 Your cords hang loose;
they cannot hold the mast firm in its place
or keep the sail spread out.
(O)Then prey and spoil in abundance will be divided;
even (P)the lame will take the prey.
24 And no inhabitant will say, (Q)“I am sick”;
(R)the people who dwell there will be forgiven their iniquity.
