17. Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty; they shall behold the land that is far off.
18. Thy heart shall meditate on terror: Where is the scribe? where is the receiver? where is he that counted the towers?
19. Thou shalt no more see the fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst comprehend, of a stammering tongue that cannot be understood.
20. Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be pulled up, neither shall any of its cords be broken;
21. but there Jehovah is unto us glorious, --a place of rivers, of broad streams: no galley with oars shall go there, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
22. For Jehovah is our judge, Jehovah, our lawgiver, Jehovah, our king: he will save us.
23. Thy tacklings are loosed; they strengthen not the socket of their mast, they cannot spread the sail: then is the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame take the prey.
24. And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.
