Isaiah 33:17-22

17Your eyes will see how handsome the king is. You will see a land that stretches into the distance.

18Your mind will be thinking of the terrors ⌞in the past⌟. Where are the scribes? Where are the tax collectors? Where are those who counted the towers?

19You will no longer see those savage people, those people with an unrecognizable language, with a foreign language that you can’t understand.

20Look at Zion, the city of our festivals. Your eyes will see Jerusalem as a peaceful place. It is a tent that can’t be moved. Its tent pegs will never be pulled out, and none of its ropes will be broken.

21The Lord will be our mighty defender in a place surrounded by wide rivers and streams. Ships with oars won’t travel on them. Stately ships won’t sail on them.

22The Lord is our judge. The Lord is our lawgiver. The Lord is our king. The Lord is our savior.
