    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.

20 Just look at Zion! It’s the city
    where we celebrate our regular feasts.

Its stakes will never be pulled up.
    None of its ropes will be broken.
