17. Your eyes shall see the King in His beauty;they shall see the land that is very far away.
18. Your heart shall meditate on terror:“Where is he who counts?Where is he who weighs?Where is he who counts the towers?”
19. You shall not see a fierce people any more,a people of unintelligible speech which no one comprehends,of a stammering tongue which no one understands.
20. Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts;your eyes shall see Jerusalem,a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down;not one of its stakes shall ever be removed,nor shall any of its cords be broken.
21. But there the glorious Lord will be to usa place of broad rivers and streamson which no boat with oars shall goand on which no gallant ship shall pass,
22. for the Lord is our judge,the Lord is our lawgiver,the Lord is our king;He will save us.
23. Your tackle hangs loose;it cannot hold the base of its mast securely,nor spread out the sail.Then the prey of an abundant spoil shall be divided;the lame shall take the prey.
24. The inhabitant shall not say, “I am sick”;the people who dwell there shall be forgiven their iniquity.
