Isaiah 33:17
The king - First Hezekiah, and then Christ, triumphing over all enemies, and ruling his own people with righteousness. Very far - Thou shalt not be shut up in Jerusalem, but shalt have free liberty to go abroad with honour and safety.
15 He who awalks righteously and speaks uprightly,
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:
16 He will dwell on1 high;
His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks;
Bread will be given him,
His water will be sure.
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
18 Your heart will meditate on terror:
a“Where is the scribe?
Where is he who weighs?
Where is he who counts the towers?”

Where is he who weighs?
Where is he who counts the towers?”
19 aYou will not see a fierce people,
bA people of obscure speech, beyond perception,
Of a1 stammering tongue that you cannot understand.

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.
