Isaiah 25
25
1O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things, even counsels of old, in faithfulness and truth. 2For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built. 3Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee. 4For thou hast been a strong hold to the poor, a strong hold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall. 5As the heat in a dry place shalt thou bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
6And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. 7And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering that is cast over all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations. 8He hath swallowed up death for ever; and the Lord GODwill wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.
9And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. 10For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down in his place, even as straw is trodden down in the water of the dunghill. 11And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst thereof, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall lay low his pride together with the craft of his hands. 12And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls hath he brought down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.

Isaiah 25
25
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.
