Isaiah:25
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Yahweh ,
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 .
*
For 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 .
*
Therefore a strong people will glorify you .
A city of awesome nations will fear you .
*
For 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 .
*
As the heat in a dry place will you 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 .
*
In this mountain ,
Yahweh of Armies will make all peoples a feast of fat things ,
a feast of choice wines ,
of fat things full of marrow ,
of well refined choice wines .
*
He will destroy in this mountain the surface of the covering that covers all peoples ,
and the veil that is spread over all nations .
*
He 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 .
*
It 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 !"
*
For in this mountain the hand of Yahweh will rest .
Moab will be trodden down in his place ,
even like straw is trodden down in the water of the dunghill .
*
He will spread out his hands in its midst ,
like one who swims spreads out hands to swim ,
but his pride will be humbled together with the craft of his hands .
*
He has brought the high fortress of your walls down ,
laid low ,
and brought to the ground ,
even to the dust .
