Isaiah 33:19-21
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
19 You shall no longer see a defiant people,
a people of speech too obscure to comprehend,
stammering in a tongue not understood.(A)
20 Look to Zion, the city of our festivals;
your eyes shall see Jerusalem
as a quiet abode, a tent not to be struck,
Whose pegs will never be pulled up,
nor any of its ropes severed.(B)
21 Indeed the Lord in majesty will be there for us
a place of rivers and wide streams
on which no galley may go,
where no majestic ship[a] may pass.(C)
Footnotes
- 33:21–23 Galley…majestic ship: of a foreign oppressor. Though the broad streams of the future Jerusalem will make it accessible by boat, no foreign invader will succeed in a naval attack on the city, for the Lord will protect it, the enemy fleet will be disabled, and even the weakest inhabitants will gather much plunder from the defeated enemy.

Isaiah 33:19-21
New International Version
19 You will see those arrogant people(A) no more,
people whose speech is obscure,
whose language is strange and incomprehensible.(B)
20 Look on Zion,(C) the city of our festivals;
your eyes will see Jerusalem,
a peaceful abode,(D) a tent(E) that will not be moved;(F)
its stakes will never be pulled up,
nor any of its ropes broken.
21 There the Lord will be our Mighty(G) One.
It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams.(H)
No galley with oars will ride them,
no mighty ship(I) will sail them.
