Isaiah 33:18

The Glorious Future

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.
