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
Praise to the Victorious God
(Jeremiah 51:15–19)
1O Lord, You are my God!
I will exalt You;
I will praise Your name.
For You have worked wonders—
plans formed long ago—
in perfect faithfulness.
2Indeed, You have made the city a heap of rubble,
the fortified town a ruin.
The fortress of strangers is a city no more;
it will never be rebuilt.
3Therefore, a strong people will honor You.
The cities of ruthless nations will revere You.
4For You have been a refuge for the poor,
a stronghold for the needy in distress,
a refuge from the storm,
a shade from the heat.
For the breath of the ruthless
is like rain against a wall,
5like heat in a dry land.
You subdue the uproar of foreigners.
As the shade of a cloud cools the heat,
so the song of the ruthless is silenced.
6On this mountain the Lord of Hosts
will prepare a banquet for all the peoples,
a feast of aged wine, of choice meat,
of finely aged wine.
7On this mountain He will swallow up
the shroud that enfolds all peoples,
the sheet that covers all nations;
8He will swallow up death forever.#25:8 Or He will swallow up death in victory; cited in 1 Corinthians 15:54
The Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from every face #25:8 Cited in Revelation 7:17 and Revelation 21:4
and remove the disgrace of His people
from the whole earth.
For the Lord has spoken.
9And in that day it will be said, “Surely this is our God;
we have waited for Him, and He has saved us.
This is the Lord for whom we have waited.
Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”
10For the hand of the Lord
will rest on this mountain.
But Moab will be trampled in his place
as straw is trodden into the dung pile.
11He will spread out his hands within it,
as a swimmer spreads his arms to swim.
His pride will be brought low,
despite #25:11 Or along with the skill of his hands.
12The high-walled fortress will be brought down,
cast to the ground, into the dust.
