Isaiah 25--O Lord, you are my God-- I will exalt you- I will praise your name,-for you have done wonderful things,- plans formed of old, faithful and sure.-For you have made the city a heap,- the fortified city a ruin--the foreigners' palace is a city no more-- it will never be rebuilt.-Therefore strong peoples will glorify you-- cities of ruthless nations will fear you.-For you have been a stronghold to the poor,- a stronghold to the needy in his distress,- a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat--for the breath of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall,- 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.-On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples- a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine,- of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined.-And he will swallow up on this mountain- the covering that is cast over all peoples,- the veil that is spread over all nations.- He will swallow up death forever--and the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces,- and the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth,- for the Lord has spoken.-It will be said on that day,- -Behold, this is our God- we have waited for him, that he might save us.- This is the Lord- we have waited for him-- let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.--For the hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain,- and Moab shall be trampled down in his place,- as straw is trampled down in a dunghill.-And he will spread out his hands in the midst of it...
