Look 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.
Surely all of you have seen it for yourselves.Why then do you keep up this empty talk?
Do you see a man skilled in his work?He will be stationed in the presence of kings;he will not stand before obscure men.
