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.

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.

(B)A people of obscure speech, beyond perception,
Of a [a]stammering tongue that you cannot understand.

20 (C)Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts;
Your eyes will see (D)Jerusalem, a quiet home,
A tabernacle that will not be taken down;
(E)Not one of (F)its stakes will ever be removed,
Nor will any of its cords be broken.
21 But there the majestic Lord will be for us
A place of broad rivers and streams,
In which no [b]galley with oars will sail,
Nor majestic ships pass by
