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.
You will no longer see those fierce people with their foreign language that you can't understand; those people whose strange speech and stammering words make no sense to you.
God is promising that the threatening foreign enemies with their incomprehensible language will no longer terrorize His people.
