He who despises the gain of oppressions,
Who gestures with his hands, refusing bribes,
Who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed,
And bshuts his eyes from seeing evil:
He who despises the gain of oppressions,
Who gestures with his hands, refusing bribes,
Who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed,
And bshuts his eyes from seeing evil:

His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks;
Bread will be given him,
His water will be sure.

His water will be sure.

Where is he who weighs?
Where is he who counts the towers?”

20 aLook upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts;
Your eyes will see bJerusalem, a quiet home,
A tabernacle that will not be taken down;
cNot one of dits 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 no1 galley with oars will sail,
Nor majestic ships pass by
A place of broad rivers and streams,
In which no1 galley with oars will sail,
Nor majestic ships pass by
23 Your tackle is loosed,
They could not strengthen their mast,
They could not spread the sail.
Then the prey of great plunder is divided;
The lame take the prey.
They could not strengthen their mast,
They could not spread the sail.
Then the prey of great plunder is divided;
The lame take the prey.
24 And the inhabitant will not say, “I am sick”;
aThe people who dwell in it will be forgiven their iniquity.
aThe people who dwell in it will be forgiven their iniquity.
