Isaiah 33:17-24

Authorized (King James) Version

¹⁷ Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty:
they shall behold the land that is very far off.
¹⁸ Thine heart shall meditate terror.
Where is the scribe?
where is the receiver?
where is he that counted the towers?
¹⁹ Thou shalt not see a fierce people,
a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive;
of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.
²⁰ Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities:
thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation,
a tabernacle that shall not be taken down;
not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed,
neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
²¹ But there the glorious Lord will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams;
wherein shall go no galley with oars,
neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
²² For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver,
the Lord is our king; he will save us.
²³ Thy tacklings are loosed;
they could not well strengthen their mast,
they could not spread the sail:
then is the prey of a great spoil divided;
the lame take the prey.
²⁴ And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick:
the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
