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.
20 
Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts and observances;
Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a undisturbed settlement,
A tent which will not be taken down;
Not one of its stakes will ever be pulled up,
Nor any of its ropes be severed.
21 
But there the mighty and magnificent Lord will be for us
A place of broad rivers and streams,
Where no oar-driven boat will go,
And on which no mighty and stately ship will pass.

19 You will see those arrogant people(A) no more,
    people whose speech is obscure,
    whose language is strange and incomprehensible.(B)

20 Look on Zion,(C) the city of our festivals;
    your eyes will see Jerusalem,
    a peaceful abode,(D) a tent(E) that will not be moved;(F)
its stakes will never be pulled up,
    nor any of its ropes broken.
21 There the Lord will be our Mighty(G) One.
    It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams.(H)
No galley with oars will ride them,
    no mighty ship(I) will sail them.

19 Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.

20 Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

21 But there the glorious Lord will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams; wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby.
