rsv Isaiah:33:15-24
rsv@Isaiah:33:15 @ He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly, who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes his hands, lest they hold a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed and shuts his eyes from looking upon evil,
rsv@Isaiah:33:16 @ he will dwell on the heights; his place of defense will be the fortresses of rocks; his bread will be given him, his water will be sure.
rsv@Isaiah:33:17 @ Your eyes will see the king in his beauty; they will behold a land that stretches afar.
rsv@Isaiah:33:18 @ Your mind will muse on the terror: "Where is he who counted, where is he who weighed the tribute? Where is he who counted the towers?"
rsv@Isaiah:33:19 @ You will see no more the insolent people, the people of an obscure speech which you cannot comprehend, stammering in a tongue which you cannot understand.
rsv@Isaiah:33:20 @ Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts! Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation, an immovable tent, whose stakes will never be plucked up, nor will any of its cords be broken.
rsv@Isaiah:33:21 @ But there the LORD in majesty will be for us a place of broad rivers and streams, where no galley with oars can go, nor stately ship can pass.
rsv@Isaiah:33:22 @ For the LORD is our judge, the LORD is our ruler, the LORD is our king; he will save us.
rsv@Isaiah:33:23 @ Your tackle hangs loose; it cannot hold the mast firm in its place, or keep the sail spread out. Then prey and spoil in abundance will be divided; even the lame will take the prey.
rsv@Isaiah:33:24 @ And no inhabitant will say, "I am sick"; the people who dwell there will be forgiven their iniquity.
