Isaiah 33:17-19

New International Reader's Version

¹⁷ People of Judah, you will see the king in all his glory and majesty.
    You will view his kingdom spreading far and wide.
¹⁸ You will think about what used to terrify you.
    You will say to yourself,
    “Where is that chief officer of Assyria?
Where is the one who forced us to send gifts to his king?
    Where is the officer in charge of the towers
    that were used when we were attacked?”
¹⁹ You won’t see those proud people anymore.
    They spoke a strange language.
    None of us could understand it.
