| Isa. 25:1 |
O Jehovah, You are my God; / I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name, / For You have done wonderful [things--] / Counsels of old, in faithfulness, [perfect] faithfulness. |
| Isa. 25:2 |
For You have made of a city a heap, / Of a fortified town a ruin. / A palace of strangers [becomes] no city [at all;] / It will never be rebuilt. |
| Isa. 25:3 |
Therefore a strong people will glorify You; / The cities of terrifying nations will fear You. |
| Isa. 25:4 |
For You have been a stronghold to the weak, / A stronghold to the needy in his distress, / A refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat; / For the breath of those who terrify is like a tempest against a wall. |
| Isa. 25:5 |
Like the heat in a drought, / You will subdue the uproar of strangers; / [Like] the heat through the shadow of a cloud, / The song of those who terrify will be brought low. |
| Isa. 25:6 |
And Jehovah of hosts will make on this mountain / For all the peoples / A feast of fat things, / A feast of wine [matured] on the lees, / Of fat things full of marrow, / [And] of filtered wine [matured] on the lees. |
| Isa. 25:7 |
And on this mountain He will swallow up / The covering that covers up all the peoples, / Even the veil that veils all the nations. |
| Isa. 25:8 |
He will swallow up death forever; / And the Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces; / And the reproach of His people He will remove from all the earth; / For Jehovah has spoken. |
| Isa. 25:9 |
And it will be said in that day, / Here, this is our God, / For whom we have waited that He may save us. / This is Jehovah, for whom we have waited; / Let us be glad and rejoice in His salvation. |
| Isa. 25:10 |
For the hand of Jehovah will rest on this mountain, / And Moab will be threshed in his place, / Even as straw is threshed in the water of a dung heap. |
| Isa. 25:11 |
And he will spread out his hands in the middle of it, / As a swimmer spreads out [his hands] to swim; / But [Jehovah] will abase his pride together with the trickery of his hands. |
| Isa. 25:12 |
And the lofty fortification of your walls He will bring down, / Lay low, [and] cast to the ground, [even] to the dust. |
