Isaiah 25
25
God Will Swallow Up Death Forever
1O Lord, #Ex. 15:2 you are my God;
# [Ps. 107:32] I will exalt you; I will praise your name,
for you have done wonderful things,
# [2 Kgs. 19:25] plans formed of old, faithful and sure.
2For you have made the city #[ch. 17:1; Jer. 51:37]a heap,
the fortified city a ruin;
the foreigners’ palace is a city no more;
it will never be rebuilt.
3 # [ch. 18:7] Therefore strong peoples will glorify you;
cities of ruthless nations will fear you.
4 #
Nah. 1:7 For you have been a stronghold to the poor,
a stronghold to the needy in his distress,
# ch. 4:6 a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat;
# [2 Chr. 32:18] for the breath of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall,
5 # [ch. 32:2] like heat in a dry place.
You subdue the noise of the foreigners;
as heat by the shade of a cloud,
so the song of the ruthless is put down.
6 # ch. 2:2, 3; 11:9; 24:23 On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples
a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine,
# [Ps. 63:5] of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined.
7And he will swallow up #[See ver. 6 above] on this mountain
the covering that is cast over all peoples,
# [2 Cor. 3:15] the veil that is spread over all nations.
8 # Cited 1 Cor. 15:54; [Hos. 13:14] He will swallow up death forever;
and #Rev. 7:17; [ch. 30:19] the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces,
and #[ch. 37:4] the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth,
# See ch. 1:20 for the Lord has spoken.
9It will be said on that day,
“Behold, this is our God; #ch. 26:8; [Gen. 49:18; Ps. 27:14] we have waited for him, that he might save us.
This is the Lord; we have waited for him;
#
Ps. 9:14
let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”
10For the hand of the Lord will rest #[See ver. 6 above] on this mountain,
and #See ch. 15:1Moab shall be trampled down in his place,
as straw is trampled down in a dunghill.#25:10 The Hebrew words for dunghill and for the Moabite town Madmen (Jeremiah 48:2) sound alike
11 # [ch. 16:12] And he will spread out his hands in the midst of it
as a swimmer spreads his hands out to swim,
but the Lord #[ch. 16:14]will lay low his pompous pride together with the skill#25:11 Or in spite of the skill of his hands.
12And the high fortifications of his walls he will bring down,
lay low, and cast to the ground, to the dust.

Isaiah 25
25
1Yahweh, you are my God. I will exalt you! I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth. 2For you have made a city into a heap, a fortified city into a ruin, a palace of strangers to be no city. It will never be built. 3Therefore a strong people will glorify you. A city of awesome nations will fear you. 4For you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the dreaded ones is like a storm against the wall. 5As the heat in a dry place you will bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the dreaded ones will be brought low.
6In this mountain, Yahweh of Armies will make all peoples a feast of choice meat,#25:6 literally, fat things a feast of choice wines, of choice meat full of marrow, of well refined choice wines. 7He will destroy in this mountain the surface of the covering that covers all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations. 8He has swallowed up death forever! The Lord Yahweh will wipe away tears from off all faces. He will take the reproach of his people away from off all the earth, for Yahweh has spoken it.
9It shall be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God! We have waited for him, and he will save us! This is Yahweh! We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation!” 10For Yahweh’s hand will rest in this mountain.
Moab will be trodden down in his place, even like straw is trodden down in the water of the dunghill. 11He will spread out his hands in the middle of it, like one who swims spreads out hands to swim, but his pride will be humbled together with the craft of his hands. 12He has brought the high fortress of your walls down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.
