USB ~ Isaiah 25

Praise for Godā€™s Deliverance and the Celebration in Zionā€ 

1 O LORD, you are my God, I extol you, I praise your name; For you have carried out your wonderful plans of old, faithful and true. a

2 For you have made the city a heap, the fortified city a ruin, The castle of the insolent, a city no more, not ever to be rebuilt. b

3 Therefore a strong people will honor you, ruthless nations will fear you.

4 For you have been a refuge to the poor, a refuge to the needy in their distress; Shelter from the rain, shade from the heat. c When the blast of the ruthless was like a winter rain,

5 the roar of strangers like heat in the desert, You subdued the heat with the shade of a cloud, the rain of the tyrants was vanquished.

6 On this mountainā€  the LORD of hosts will provide for all peoples A feast of rich food and choice wines, juicy, rich food and pure, choice wines.

7 On this mountain he will destroy the veil that veils all peoples, The web that is woven over all nations.

8 He will destroy death forever. The Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from all faces; The reproach of his people he will remove from the whole earth; for the LORD has spoken. d

9 On that day it will be said: ā€œIndeed, this is our God; we looked to him, and he saved us! This is the LORD to whom we looked; let us rejoice and be glad that he has saved us!ā€ e

Judgment on Moabā€ 

10 For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain, but Moab will be trodden down as straw is trodden down in the mire. f

11 He will spread out his hands in its midst, as a swimmer spreads out his hands to swim; His pride will be brought low despite his strokes. g

12 The high-walled fortress he will raze, bringing it low, leveling it to the ground, to the very dust. h
