21 There the Lord will be our Mighty One.
    That land is a place with streams and wide rivers,
·but there will be no enemy boats on those rivers [L no galley with oars will go];
    no ·powerful [majestic] ship will sail on them.
22 This is because the Lord is our judge.
    The Lord ·makes our laws [is our lawgiver].
The Lord is our king.
    He will ·save [rescue; T deliver] us.
23 The ·ropes on your boats [L ropes; cords] hang loose [C perhaps referring to the enemy ships or metaphorically to Judah].
    The mast is not held firm.
    The sails are not spread open.
Then ·your great wealth [an abundance of plunder] will be divided.
    ·There will be so much wealth that even the crippled people will carry off a share [L Even the lame will take the prey].

Then an abundance of spoils will be divided
    and even the lame(H) will carry off plunder.(I)
