Bible, King James Version
Isaiah
Isa.25
[1] O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will
praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy
counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
[2] For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced
city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never
be built.
[3] Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the
city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
[4] For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength
to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow
from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm
against the wall.
[5] Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the
heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud:
the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
[6] And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto
all people 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.
[7] And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the
covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over
all nations.
[8] He will swallow up death in victory; and the 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: for the LORD
hath spoken it.
[9] And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God;
we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we
have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his
salvation.
[10] For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest,
and Moab shall be trodden down under 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 the high fort of thy walls shall
he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the
dust.
