33:17 You will see a king in his splendor;
you will see a wide land.
33:18 Your mind will recall the terror you experienced,
and you will ask yourselves,
Where is the one who weighs the money?
Where is the one who counts the towers?”
33:19 You will no longer see a defiant
whose language you do not comprehend,
whose derisive speech you do not understand.
33:20 Look at Zion, the city where we hold religious festivals!
You
a peaceful settlement,
a tent that stays put;
its stakes will never be pulled up;
none of its ropes will snap in two.
33:21 Instead the Lord will rule there as our mighty king.
Rivers and wide streams will flow through it;
no war galley will enter;
no large ships will sail through.
33:22 For the Lord, our ruler,
the Lord, our commander,
the Lord, our king –
he will deliver us.
33:23 Though at this time your ropes are slack,
the mast is not secured,
and the sail
at that time you will divide up a great quantity of loot;
even the lame will drag off plunder.
33:24 No resident of Zion
the people who live there will have their sin forgiven.
