Isaiah 33:17-24 - The Glorious Future
17 Thine eyes shall see the king in his beauty. They shall behold a land that reaches afar. 18 Thy heart shall muse on the terror. Where is he who counted? Where is he who weighed [the tribute]? Where is he who counted the towers? 19 Thou shall not see the fierce people, a people of a deep speech that thou cannot comprehend, of a strange tongue that thou cannot understand. 20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities. Thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed. The stakes of which shall never be plucked up, nor shall any of the cords of it be broken. 21 But LORD will be with us there in majesty. A place of broad rivers and streams, in which shall go no galley with oars, nor shall a gallant ship pass thereby. 22 For LORD is our judge. LORD is our lawgiver. LORD is our king, he will save us. 23 Thy tacklings are loosed. They could not strengthen the foot of their mast. They could not spread the sail. Then the prey of a great spoil was divided. The lame took the prey. 24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick. The people who dwell in it shall be forgiven their iniquity.
