Isaiah 25
25
Praise to God
1O Lord, You are my God.
#Ex. 15:2I will exalt You,
I will praise Your name,
#Ps. 98:1For You have done wonderful things;
#Num. 23:19Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
2For You have made #Is. 21:9; 23:13; Jer. 51:37a city a ruin,
A fortified city a ruin,
A palace of foreigners to be a city no more;
It will never be rebuilt.
3Therefore the strong people will #Is. 24:15; Rev. 11:13glorify You;
The city of the terrible nations will fear You.
4For You have been a strength to the poor,
A strength to the needy in his distress,
#Is. 4:6A refuge from the storm,
A shade from the heat;
For the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
5You will reduce the noise of aliens,
As heat in a dry place;
As heat in the shadow of a cloud,
The song of the terrible ones will be diminished.
6And in #(Is. 2:2–4; 56:7)this mountain
#Prov. 9:2; Matt. 22:4The Lord of hosts will make for #(Dan. 7:14; Matt. 8:11)all people
A feast of choice pieces,
A feast of wines on the lees,
Of fat things full of marrow,
Of well-refined wines on the lees.
7And He will destroy on this mountain
The surface of the covering cast over all people,
And #2 Cor. 3:15; (Eph. 4:18)the veil that is spread over all nations.
8He will #(Hos. 13:14; 1 Cor. 15:54; Rev. 20:14)swallow up death forever,
And the Lord God will #Is. 30:19; Rev. 7:17; 21:4wipe away tears from all faces;
The rebuke of His people
He will take away from all the earth;
For the Lord has spoken.
9And it will be said in that day:
“Behold, this is our God;
#Gen. 49:18; Is. 8:17; 26:8; (Titus 2:13)We have waited for Him, and He will save us.
This is the Lord;
We have waited for Him;
#Ps. 20:5We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.”
10For on this mountain the hand of the Lord will rest,
And #Is. 16:14; Jer. 48:1–47; Ezek. 25:8–11; Amos 2:1–3; Zeph. 2:9Moab shall be trampled down under Him,
As straw is trampled down for the refuse heap.
11And He will spread out His hands in their midst
As a swimmer reaches out to swim,
And He will bring down their #Is. 24:4; 26:5pride
Together with the trickery of their hands.
12The #Is. 26:5fortress of the high fort of your walls
He will bring down, lay low,
And bring to the ground, down to the dust.

Isaiah 25
25
1Yahweh, you are my God. I will exalt you! I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth. 2For you have made a city into a heap, a fortified city into a ruin, a palace of strangers to be no city. It will never be built. 3Therefore a strong people will glorify you. A city of awesome nations will fear you. 4For 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. 5As the heat in a dry place you will bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the dreaded ones will be brought low.
6In this mountain, Yahweh of Armies will make all peoples a feast of choice meat,#25:6 literally, fat things a feast of choice wines, of choice meat full of marrow, of well refined choice wines. 7He will destroy in this mountain the surface of the covering that covers all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations. 8He has swallowed up death forever! The Lord Yahweh will wipe away tears from off all faces. He will take the reproach of his people away from off all the earth, for Yahweh has spoken it.
9It shall be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God! We have waited for him, and he will save us! This is Yahweh! We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation!” 10For Yahweh’s hand will rest in this mountain.
Moab will be trodden down in his place, even like straw is trodden down in the water of the dunghill. 11He will spread out his hands in the middle of it, like one who swims spreads out hands to swim, but his pride will be humbled together with the craft of his hands. 12He has brought the high fortress of your walls down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.
