Is 25:1 O Lord, thou art my
God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done
wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
Is 25:2 For 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.
Is 25:3 Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the
terrible nations shall fear thee.
Is 25:4 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength 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.
Is 25:5 Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry
place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the
terrible ones shall be brought low.
Is 25:6 And in this mountain shall the Lord of hosts make unto all people
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.
Is 25:7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast
over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
Is 25:8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe
away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take
away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.
Is 25:9 And 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.
Is 25:10 For in this mountain shall the hand of the Lord rest, and Moab
shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the
dunghill.
Is 25:11 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he
that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down
their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
Is 25:12 And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring
down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust. |
