Isaiah 33:20-22
New English Translation
20 Look at Zion, the city where we hold religious festivals!
You[a] will see Jerusalem,
a peaceful settlement,
a tent that stays put;[b]
its stakes will never be pulled up;
none of its ropes will snap in two.
21 Instead the Lord will rule there as our mighty king.[c]
Rivers and wide streams will flow through it;[d]
no war galley will enter;[e]
no large ships will sail through.[f]
22 For the Lord, our ruler,
the Lord, our commander,
the Lord, our king—
he will deliver us.

21 There the Lord will be our Mighty(E) One.
It will be like a place of broad rivers and streams.(F)
No galley with oars will ride them,
