    “Where is he who counts?
    Where is he who weighs?
    Where is he who counts the towers?”
19 You shall not see a fierce people any more,
    a people of unintelligible speech which no one comprehends,
    of a stammering tongue which no one understands.

20 Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts;

    a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down;
not one of its stakes shall ever be removed,
    nor shall any of its cords be broken.

    whose language is strange and incomprehensible.(D)

its stakes will never be pulled up,
    nor any of its ropes broken.
