Isaiah 25
25 *O Lord, thou art my God;
aI will exalt thee, I will praise thy name;
For cthou hast done cdwonderful things;
Thy counsels eof old are faithfulness and truth.
2 For thou hast made fof a city an heap;
hA palace of strangers ito be no city;
It shall never be built.
3 Therefore shall the strong people jglorify thee,
kThe city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
4 For thou hast been la strength to the poor,
A strength to the needy in his distress,
mA refuge from the storm, mna shadow from the heat,
When the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
5 Thou shalt bring down othe noise of strangers,
As the heat in pa dry place;
Even the heat qwith the shadow of a cloud:
rThe branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
6 And in sthis mountain shall tthe Lord of hosts make uunto all people
tA feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees,
Of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
7 And he will †destroy in sthis mountain
The face of the covering †cast tover all people,
And uthe vail that is spread tover all nations.
8 vHe will swallow up death in wvictory;
And xthe 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:
yFor the Lord hath spoken it.
9 And it shall be said zin that day,
Lo, this is our God;
aWe have waited for him, and he will save us:
This is the Lord; awe have waited for him,
bWe will be glad and rejoice bin his salvation.
10 For in sthis mountain shall the hand of the Lord crest,
And dMoab shall be ||trodden down eunder him,
Even as straw is ||trodden down for the dunghill.
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.
12 And the fortress of gthe high fort of thy walls shall he gbring down,
