Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle that shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities - of our solemn assemblies at the great feasts (note, ; ; ).

A tabernacle (that) shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed - image from captives "removed" from their land (). There shall be no more 'taking away' to an enemy's land. Or else, from nomad livers in shifting tents. The saints who sojourned once in tabernacles as pilgrims shall have a "building of God ... eternal in the heavens" (; Hebrews 11:9: cf. ).

Stakes - driven into the ground: to these the "cords" were fastened. Christ's Church shall never fall (). So individual believers ().
