Isaiah

Isaiah 33:20–22

²⁰Look upon Zion,

the city of our appointed feasts.

Your eyes will see Jerusalem,

a peaceful pasture, a tent that does not wander;

its tent pegs will not be pulled up,

nor will any of its cords be broken.

²¹But there the Majestic One, our LORD,

will be for us a place of rivers and wide canals,

where no galley with oars will row,

and no majestic vessel will pass.

²²For the LORD is our Judge,

the LORD is our lawgiver,

the LORD is our King.

It is He who will save us.
