Isaiah 25
25
Chapter 25
A song to thank God
1 Lord, you are my God!
I will praise you
because your name is great.
You have done wonderful things.
You decided a long time ago what you would do.
And you have done exactly what you promised to do.
2You have destroyed cities
so that they become a heap of stones.
You have destroyed the strongest cities.
The beautiful palaces in foreign lands have disappeared.
Nobody will build them again.
3So people of strong nations will praise you.
The people of cruel nations will be afraid of you.
4You Lord have been a safe place for poor people.
When helpless people were in trouble,
you have kept them safe.
You were a place for them to hide from the storm.
You gave them shade from the heat.
Yes, cruel people attack them
like a storm that hits against a wall.
5and like strong heat in the desert.
You Lord stopped the proud noise of foreign people.
Like the shadow of a cloud that stops the heat of the sun,
you stopped our cruel enemy's songs.
You stopped them as they boasted of their strength.
6The Lord Almighty will prepare a feast on this mountain. #25:6 ‘this mountain’ is Mount Zion in Jerusalem.
It will be a feast for all the nations of the world.
It will be a great feast, with plenty of meat and wine.
The best meat and the best wine will be there.
7On this mountain the Lord will take away the things
that make all people sad.
He will remove the cloth
that covers the people of all nations.
8The Almighty Lord will destroy death for ever.
He will clean away the tears in everyone's eyes.
His people will not feel ashamed any more.
Nobody in all the world will ever insult them again.
That is what the Lord has said.
9At that time, people will say,
‘Look! This is our God!
We trusted him to keep us safe,
and he rescued us.
Yes, this is the Lord!
We trusted him to keep us safe.
We will sing with joy,
because he has saved us.’
10The Lord's power will bless this mountain.
He will knock down Moab's people
and he will walk all over them.
He will walk on them,
as if they are straw in a heap of dung.
11Moab's people will try to escape from that punishment.
They will push with their hands as they try to swim out!
But the Lord will make their proud strength useless,
whatever they do to escape.
12He will knock down the high walls of Moab's city.
He will completely destroy their strong place.
It will all fall down into the dust on the ground.

Yeshayah (Isaiah) 25
25
1O יהוה, You are my Elohim. I exalt You, I praise Your Name, for You shall do a wonder – counsels of long ago, trustworthiness, truth.
2For You shall make a city a heap, a walled city a ruin, a palace of foreigners to be a city no more – never to be rebuilt.
3Therefore a strong people praise You, the city of the ruthless nations fear You.
4For You shall be a refuge to the poor, a refuge to the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm, a shade from the heat. For the spirit of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall.
5You subdue the noise of foreigners, as heat in a dry place; as heat in the shadow of a cloud, the singing of the ruthless is subdued.
6And in this mountain יהוה of hosts shall make for all people a feast of choice pieces, a feast of old wines, of choice pieces with marrow, of old wines, well-refined.
7And He shall swallow up on this mountain the surface of the covering which covers all people, and the veil which is spread over all nations.
8He shall swallow up death forever, and the Master יהוה shall wipe away tears from all faces, and take away the reproach of His people from all the earth. For יהוה has spoken.
9And it shall be said in that day, “See, this is our Elohim. We have waited for Him, and He saves us. This is יהוה, we have waited for Him, let us be glad and rejoice in His deliverance.”
10For the hand of יהוה rests on this mountain, and Mo’aḇ is trodden down under Him, as straw is trodden down in the water of a dunghill.
11And He shall spread out His hands in their midst as he who swims spreads out his hands to swim, and He shall bring down their pride together, with the skill of His hands.
12And the high stronghold of your walls He shall bring down, lay it low, levelled to the ground, down to the dust.
