33:20 Look at Zion, the city where we hold religious festivals!
You 1 will see Jerusalem, 2
a peaceful settlement,
a tent that stays put; 3
its stakes will never be pulled up;
none of its ropes will snap in two.
33:21 Instead the Lord will rule there as our mighty king. 4
Rivers and wide streams will flow through it; 5
no war galley will enter; 6
no large ships will sail through. 7
33:22 For the Lord, our ruler,
the Lord, our commander,
the Lord, our king –
he will deliver us.
