Context — The LORD Is Exalted
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.
23Your ropes are slack; they cannot secure the mast or spread the sail. Then an abundance of spoils will be divided, and even the lame will carry off plunder. 24And no resident of Zion will say, “I am sick.” The people who dwell there will be forgiven of iniquity.Cross References
