15 He going in justice and speaking uprightness, rejecting in the plunder of oppression; shaking his hands from holding upon a gift, shutting his ear from the hearing of bloods, and binding up his eyes from looking upon evil; 16 He shall dwell upon heights: the strongholds of rocks his height: his bread was given; his waters sure. 17 Thine eyes shall perceive the king in his beauty: they shall see the land from far off. 18 Thy heart shall meditate terror. Where the scribe? where the weigher? where he writing the towers? 19 Thou shalt not see a firm people, a people of a deep lip above hearing; of a stammering tongue, of no understanding. 20 Behold Zion the city of our appointment: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet dwelling, the tent shall not remove; its pegs shall not be pulled up forever, and none of its cords shall be broken. 21 But there the mighty Jehovah to us a place of rivers, rivers broad of hands; a ship with the oar shall not go in it, and a mighty ship shall not pass over it. 22 For Jehovah is our Judge, Jehovah our law-giver, Jehovah our king; he will save us. 23 Thy cords were broken in pieces; they will not well strengthen their mast; they spread not the flag: then was the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame plundered the plunder. 24 And the inhabitant shall not say, I was sick: to the people dwelling in it, iniquity was lifted up.
