Isaiah:25
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Jehovah ,
thou art my God :
I will exalt thee ;
I will celebrate thy name ,
for thou hast done wonderful things ;
counsels of old [
which are ]
faithfulness [
and ]
truth .
*
For 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 .
*
Therefore shall the mighty people glorify thee ,
the city of terrible nations shall fear thee .
*
For 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 .
*
Thou 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 .
*
And 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 .
*
And 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 .
*
He 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 .
*
And it shall be said in that day ,
Behold ,
this is our God ;
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 .
*
For 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 ;
*
and 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 .
*
And the fortress of the high defences of thy walls will he bring down ,
lay low ,
bring to the ground ,
into the dust .
