20. Look upon Zion, city of our Festivals. Your eyes will see Jerusalem as a quiet home, a tent that will never be folded, Its stakes never pulled up, its cords never broken.
21. For there the majestic One, Adonai, will be for us— a place of rivers and wide canals, on which no boat with oars will go, nor any mighty ship will travel by.
22. For Adonai is our Judge, Adonai is our Lawgiver, Adonai is our King— He will save us!

24. No inhabitant will say, “I am sick.” The people dwelling there will be forgiven their iniquity.
