19 You will no longer see rude and arrogant people in charge of the city,
    and you will no longer have to listen to their strange babbling and incomprehensible muttering.
20 Ah, just look at Zion! The city where we celebrate,
    where we make our God-appointed feasts.
You’ll see a Jerusalem at peace, untroubled, undisturbed,
    like a permanent tent with stakes driven deep and ropes that never break.
21 There, the Eternal, so splendid and regal,
    will be for us a place of broad rivers and wide canals.
No large boats will pass through them—
    no mighty ships will sail their waters.

19 You will see those arrogant people(A) no more,
    people whose speech is obscure,

    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.
