Isaiah 33:18

The Glorious Future

¹⁷
Your eyes will see the King in His beauty;
They will see a far-distant land.
¹⁸ 
Your mind will meditate on the terror [asking]:
“Where is he who counts?
Where is he who weighs [the tribute]?
Where is he who counts the towers?”
¹⁹
You will no longer see the fierce and insolent people,
A people of unintelligible speech which no one comprehends,
Of a strange and stammering tongue which no one understands.
