Isaiah 25:4-12 ▼

4 For You have been a stronghold for the poor, a stronghold for the needy one in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat—for the breath of the ruthless ones is like a storm against a wall,

5 like heat in a dry land, the roar of strangers You humble—the heat in the shadow of a cloud, the song of the ruthless ones will be brought low.

6 And YHWH of Hosts will make on this on the mountain for all the peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of aged wines—fat things full of marrow, aged wines well-refined.

7 And He will swallow up on this mountain the face of the wrapping covering over all the peoples, and the veil woven over all the nations.

8 He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord YHWH will wipe away the tear from all faces, and He will turn away the scorn of His people from all the earth. For YHWH has spoken.

9 And one will say on that day, “Behold, this is our God; we have waited for Him and He has saved us. This is YHWH; we have waited for Him—let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation!”

10 For the hand of YHWH will rest on this mountain, and Moab will be trampled down under Him as is trampled down straw in the waters of dung.

11 And He will spread out His hands within it, as the swimmer spreads out to swim, and He will bring low its pride with the skill of his hands.

12 And the fortress of the high place of your walls He will bend down—He will bring it low, touching it down to the ground, into dust!
