19. You will no longer see the defiant people,the people of speech too obscure to understand,who stammer in an incomprehensible language.
20. Gaze upon Zion, our festival town.Your eyes will see Jerusalem,a carefree dwelling,a tent that is not packed up,whose stakes are never pulled up,whose ropes won’t snap.
21. The Lord’s majesty will be there for us:as a place of rivers, broad streamswhere no boat will go,no majestic ship will cross.
22. The Lord is our judge;the Lord is our leader;the Lord is our king—he will deliver us.
23. Your ropes are loosened;they can’t hold the mast firmly;they can’t spread the sail.Then abundant spoil will be divided;even the lame will seize spoil.
24. And no inhabitant will say, "I’m sick."The people living there will be forgiven their sin.
