Yesha 'yahu (Isa) 25
25
1Adonai, you are my God.
I exalt you, I praise your name.
For you have accomplished marvels,
[fulfilled] ancient plans faithfully and truly.
2For you have made a city a heap of stones,
turned a fortified city into rubble,
made the foreigners’ fortress
a city that will never be rebuilt.
3Therefore mighty peoples glorify you,
the city of ruthless nations fears you.
4For you have been a refuge for the poor,
a refuge for the needy in distress,
shelter from the storm,
shade from the heat —
for the blast from the ruthless
was like a storm that could destroy a wall.
5Like desert heat, you subdue
the foreigners’ uproar;
like heat subdued by a cloud’s shadow,
the song of the ruthless dies away.
6On this mountain Adonai-Tzva’ot
will make for all peoples
a feast of rich food and superb wines,
delicious, rich food and superb, elegant wines.
7On this mountain he will destroy
the veil which covers the face of all peoples,
the veil enshrouding all the nations.
8He will swallow up death forever.
Adonai Elohim will wipe away
the tears from every face,
and he will remove from all the earth
the disgrace his people suffer.
For Adonai has spoken.
9On that day they will say,
“See! This is our God!
We waited for him to save us.
This is Adonai ; we put our hope in him.
We are full of joy, so glad he saved us!”
10For on this mountain
the hand of Adonai will rest.
But Mo’av will be trampled down where they are,
like straw trampled into a pile of manure.
11They will spread out their hands in Mo’av,
like a swimmer using his hands to tread water;
but their pride will be humbled and sunk,
no matter how clever the strokes of their hands.
12Your high, fortified walls he will level,
strike to the ground, lay in the dust.

Praise for Salvation
1Yahweh, you are my God; I will exalt you.
I will praise your name,
for you have done wonderful things,#Hebrew “thing”
plans#Hebrew “plan” of old,#Literally “from far away “ in faithfulness, trustworthiness.
2For you have made#Literally “placed” the city a heap,
the fortified city a ruin,
the palace of foreigners is no longer#Literally “from” a city;
it will never#Literally “to eternity not” be rebuilt.
3Therefore strong peoples will glorify you;
a city of ruthless nations, they will fear you.
4For you have been a refuge to the poor,
a refuge to the needy in his distress,
a shelter from the rainstorm,
a shade from the heat.
For the breath of the ruthless was like a rainstorm against a wall,#The same consonants with different vowels can be translated “winter rainstorm”
5the noise of foreigners like heat in a dry land.
You subdued the heat with the shade of a cloud;
the song of the ruthless was silenced.
6And on this mountain Yahweh of hosts will make for all peoples a rich feast,#Literally “feast of fat”
a feast of aged wines, fat filled with marrow, filtered aged wine.
7And on this mountain he will destroy#Literally “engulf” the face of the shroud,
the shroud over all peoples,
and the woven covering over all nations.
8He will destroy#Literally “engulf” death forever,
and the Lord Yahweh will wipe off the tears from all faces,
and he will remove the disgrace of his people from all the earth,
for Yahweh has spoken.
9And one will say, on that day,
“Look! This is our God! We have waited for him and he saved us!
This is Yahweh; we waited for him!
Let us be glad,
and let us rejoice in his salvation.”
10For the hand of Yahweh will rest on this mountain,
and Moab shall be trampled down under him
as a heap of straw is trampled down#Literally “the trampling down of a heap of straw” in waters of#These words are in the written Hebrew text, but not in the reading tradition (Qere) a dung heap.
11And it#Moab will spread out its hands in the midst of it,
just as the swimmer spreads out to swim,
and its pride will be brought low with the movement#Meaning uncertain of its hands.
12And he will throw down the fortification of the high point of your walls;
he will bring it low;
he will send it#Literally “cause it to touch” to the ground,
to the dust.
