Israel's Poverty of Heart
Isaiah 25:4
For 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…


These were four aspects of Israel's poverty of heart, a hunger for pardon, a hunger for justice, a hunger for home, and a hunger for God.

(Prof. G. A. Smith, D. D.)



Parallel Verses
KJV: For thou hast 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 terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.

WEB: For you have 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 dreaded ones is like a storm against the wall.
