“Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a deeper speech than thou canst perceive; of a stammering tongue, that thou canst not understand.”
The assurance that a strange people, with incomprehensible language and gibberish speech, will no longer be seen indicates that the foreign oppressors and their language will disappear from the land. This verse emphasizes that the restoration involves the removal of foreign domination and the restoration of normal communication and social order. The characterization of the foreign language as incomprehensible and gibberish suggests that the psychological barrier between the conqueror and the conquered will be removed. The verse assures the community that the period of foreign domination will end and the indigenous culture will be restored.
