19 You will no longer see those savage people,
    those people with an unrecognizable language,
        with a foreign language that you can’t understand.
20 Look at Zion, the city of our festivals.
    Your eyes will see Jerusalem as a peaceful place.
    It is a tent that can’t be moved.
        Its tent pegs will never be pulled out,
            and none of its ropes will be broken.
21 Yahweh will be our mighty defender
    in a place surrounded by wide rivers and streams.
        Ships with oars won’t travel on them.
        Stately ships won’t sail on them.

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.
