Isaiah 33

<< Isaiah 33 >>
New International Version 1984
 

19You will see those arrogant people no more,

those people of an obscure speech,

with their strange, incomprehensible tongue.

20Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals;

your eyes will see Jerusalem,

a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved;

its stakes will never be pulled up,

nor any of its ropes broken.

21There the Lord will be our Mighty One.

It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams.

No galley with oars will ride them,

no mighty ship will sail them.

22For the Lord is our judge,

the Lord is our lawgiver,

the Lord is our king;

it is he who will save us.

23Your rigging hangs loose:

The mast is not held secure,

the sail is not spread.

Then an abundance of spoils will be divided

and even the lame will carry off plunder.

24No one living in Zion will say, “I am ill”;

and the sins of those who dwell there will be forgiven.
