19 Thou shalt not see a people unwise, a people of deep word, so that thou mayest not understand the fair speaking of his tongue, in which people is no wisdom. (Thou shalt no longer see a fierce people, a people of deep words, those whom thou cannot understand the strange speaking of their tongues, in which people there is no wisdom.)

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

    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.
