Isaiah 33:15-24 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

15. He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity, He who rejects unjust gain And shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe; He who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed And shuts his eyes from looking upon evil;

16. He will dwell on the heights, His refuge will be the impregnable rock; His bread will be given him, His water will be sure.

17. Your eyes will see the King in His beauty; They will behold a far-distant land.

18. Your heart will meditate on terror: "Where is he who counts? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers?"

19. You will no longer see a fierce people, A people of unintelligible speech which no one comprehends, Of a stammering tongue which no one understands.

20. Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts; Your eyes will see Jerusalem, an undisturbed habitation, A tent which will not be folded; Its stakes will never be pulled up, Nor any of its cords be torn apart.

21. But there the majestic One, the Lord, will be for us A place of rivers and wide canals On which no boat with oars will go, And on which no mighty ship will pass-

22. For the Lord is our judge, The Lord is our lawgiver, The Lord is our king; He will save us-

23. Your tackle hangs slack; It cannot hold the base of its mast firmly, Nor spread out the sail. Then the prey of an abundant spoil will be divided; The lame will take the plunder.

24. And no resident will say, "I am sick"; The people who dwell there will be forgiven their iniquity.
