Isaiah 25
25
1Jehovah, thou art my God#GodHebrew: Elohim I will exalt thee; I will celebrate thy name, for thou hast done wonderful things; counsels of old which are faithfulness and truth. 2For thou hast made of the city a heap, of the fortified town a ruin, the palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built up. 3Therefore shall the mighty people glorify thee, the city of terrible nations shall fear thee. 4For thou hast been a fortress to the poor, a fortress for the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat: for the blast of the terrible ones has been as the storm against a wall. 5Thou hast subdued the tumult of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; as the heat, by the shadow of a cloud, so the song of the terrible ones is brought low.
6And in this mountain will Jehovah 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 veil which veileth all the peoples, and the covering that is spread over all the nations. 8He will swallow up death in victory. And the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of his people will he take away from off all the earth: for Jehovah hath spoken.
9And it shall be said in that day, Behold, this is our God#GodHebrew: Elohim we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is Jehovah, we have waited for him; we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. 10For in this mountain shall the hand of Jehovah rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, as straw is trodden down in the dunghill; 11and he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth them forth to swim; and he shall bring down their pride together with the plots of their hands. 12And the fortress of the high defences of thy walls will he bring down, lay low, bring to the ground, into 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.
