Isaiah 33:20-23
Easy-to-Read Version
God Will Protect Jerusalem
20 Look at Zion, the city of our religious festivals. Look at Jerusalem—that beautiful place of rest. Jerusalem is like a tent that will never be moved. The pegs that hold her in place will never be pulled up. Her ropes will never be broken, 21-23 because the Lord is our powerful leader there. That land is a place with streams and wide rivers, but there will be no enemy boats or powerful ships on those rivers. You men who work on such boats can stop your work with the ropes. You cannot make the mast strong enough. You will not be able to open your sails, because the Lord is our judge. He makes our laws. He is our king. He saves us. The Lord will give us our wealth. Even crippled people will get their share.

New International Version
20 Look on Zion,(A) the city of our festivals;
your eyes will see Jerusalem,
a peaceful abode,(B) a tent(C) that will not be moved;(D)
its stakes will never be pulled up,
nor any of its ropes broken.
21 There the Lord will be our Mighty(E) One.
It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams.(F)
No galley with oars will ride them,
no mighty ship(G) will sail them.
22 For the Lord is our judge,(H)
the Lord is our lawgiver,(I)
the Lord is our king;(J)
it is he who will save(K) us.

King James Version
20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.
21 But there the glorious Lord will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
22 For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us.
