Isaiah 33:20-23
Good News Translation
20 Look at Zion, the city where we celebrate our religious festivals. Look at Jerusalem! What a safe place it will be to live in! It will be like a tent that is never moved, whose pegs are never pulled up and whose ropes never break. 21 The Lord will show us his glory. We will live beside broad rivers and streams, but hostile ships will not sail on them.[a] 22-23 All the rigging on those ships is useless; the sails cannot be spread! We will seize all the wealth of enemy armies, and there will be so much that even the lame can get a share. The Lord himself will be our king; he will rule over us and protect us.

Isaiah 33:20-22
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.
