His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks;
Bread will be given him,
His water will be sure.
The Land of the Majestic King
a“Where is the scribe?
Where is he who weighs?
Where is he who counts the towers?”
bA people of obscure speech, beyond perception,
Of a1 stammering tongue that you cannot understand.
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.
A place of broad rivers and streams,
In which no1 galley with oars will sail,
Nor majestic ships pass by

Isaiah 33:18
Thine heart - This is a thankful acknowledgment of deliverance from their former terrors and miseries. Where - These words they spoke in the time of their distress. The scribe, whom we call muster - master, was to make and keep a list of the soldiers, and to call them together as occasion required: the receiver, received and laid out the money for the charges of the war; and he that counted the towers, surveyed all the parts of the city, and considered what towers or fortifications were to be made or repaired. And unto these several officers the people resorted, with great distraction and confusion.
