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 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.
