“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.” (Isaiah 25:1-12 AV)
