Isaiah 25
- 1O Lord, you are my God. I will honor you, I will praise your name. For you have done wonderful things. Your plans of old are faithfulness and truth.
- 2For you have made of a city a heap. Of a fortified city a ruin: a palace of foreigners to be no city. It shall never be built.
- 3Therefore shall the strong people glorify you, the city of the ruthless nations shall fear you.
- 4For you have been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the ruthless is as a storm against the wall.
- 5You shall bring down the noise of foreigners, as the heat in a dry place. Even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the ruthless shall be brought low.
- 6And in this mountain shall the Lord of Hosts make to all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
- 7And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
- 8He will swallow up death in victory. The Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces. The rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth. For the Lord has spoken it.
- 9And it shall be said in that day this is our God. We have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord. We have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
- 10For in this mountain shall the hand of the Lord rest, and Moab shall be trampled down under him, even as straw is trampled down into a manure pile.
- 11And he shall spread out his hands among them, as he who swims spreads out his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the plunder of their hands.
- 12And the fortress of the high fort of your walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
