18 Your heart will meditate on terror:
(A)“Where is the scribe?
Where is he who weighs?
Where is he who counts the towers?”
19 (B)You will not see a fierce people,
(C)A people of obscure speech, beyond perception,
Of a [a]stammering tongue that you cannot understand.

20 (D)Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts;
Your eyes will see (E)Jerusalem, a quiet home,
A tabernacle that will not be taken down;
(F)Not one of (G)its stakes will ever be removed,
Nor will any of its cords be broken.

    whose language is strange and incomprehensible.(D)

20 Look on Zion,(E) the city of our festivals;
    your eyes will see Jerusalem,

its stakes will never be pulled up,
    nor any of its ropes broken.
