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 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.
