Isaiah 33:15-22 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

15. The one who lives righteouslyand speaks rightly, who refuses gain from extortion,whose hand never takes a bribe,who stops his ears from listening to murderous plots and shuts his eyes to avoid endorsing evil —

16. he will dwell on the heights;his refuge will be the rocky fortresses,his food provided, his water assured.

17. Your eyes will see the King in His beauty; you will see a vast land.

18. Your mind will meditate on the past terror:“Where is the accountant? Where is the tribute collector? Where is the one who spied out our defenses? ”

19. You will no longer see the barbarians,a people whose speech is difficult to comprehend —who stammer in a language that is not understood.

20. Look at Zion, the city of our festival times.Your eyes will see Jerusalem,a peaceful pasture, a tent that does not wander;its tent pegs will not be pulled upnor will any of its cords be loosened.

21. For the majestic One, our Lord, will be there, a place of rivers and broad streamswhere ships that are rowed will not go,and majestic vessels will not pass.

22. For the Lord is our Judge,the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our King.He will save us.
