The Book of Isaiah
25: 1O Jehovah, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for
thou hast done wonderful things, even counsels of old, in faithfulness and truth.
25:2For thou hast made of a city a heap, of a fortified city a ruin, a palace of
strangers to be no city; it shall never be built. 25:3Therefore shall a strong people
glorify thee; a city of terrible nations shall fear thee. 25:4For thou hast been a
stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the
storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm
against the wall. 25:5As the heat in a dry place wilt thou bring down the noise of
strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the terrible ones shall be
brought low. 25:6And in this mountain will Jehovah of hosts make unto all peoples
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. 25:7And he will destroy in this mountain the face of
the covering that covereth all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
25:8He hath swallowed up death for ever; and the Lord Jehovah will wipe away
tears from off all faces; and the reproach of his people will he take away from off
all the earth: for Jehovah hath spoken it. 25:9And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this
is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is Jehovah; we have
waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. 25:10For in this
mountain will the hand of Jehovah rest; and Moab shall be trodden down in his
place, even as straw is trodden down in the water of the dung-hill. 25:11And he shall
spread forth his hands in the midst thereof, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth
his hands to swim; but Jehovah will lay low his pride together with the craft of his
hands. 25:12And the high fortress of thy walls hath he brought down, laid low, and
brought to the ground, even to the dust.
