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.
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
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.
aThe people who dwell in it will be forgiven their iniquity.
| << Isaiah 33:16 | Isaiah 33:18 >> |
