19 You will no longer see any arrogant foreigners who speak a language that you can't understand.
20 Look at Zion, the city where we celebrate our religious festivals. Look at Jerusalem! What a safe place it will be to live in! It will be like a tent that is never moved, whose pegs are never pulled up and whose ropes never break.
21 The Lord will show us his glory. We will live beside broad rivers and streams, but hostile ships will not sail on them.
22-23 All the rigging on those ships is useless; the sails cannot be spread! We will seize all the wealth of enemy armies, and there will be so much that even the lame can have a share. The Lord himself will be our king; he will rule over us and protect us.
24 No one who lives in our land will ever again complain of being ill, and all sins will be forgiven.
