Isaiah 25

Revised Geneva Translation

25 O LORD, You are my God! I will exalt You. I will praise Your Name. For You have done wonderful things, ancient counsel, with firm faithfulness!

² For You have made a heap of a city, a ruin of a strong city, a fortress of strangers to be no city. It shall never be built.

³ Therefore, the mighty people shall give glory to You. The city of the strong nations shall fear You.

⁴ For You have been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his trouble, a refuge from the storm, a shade in the heat. For the blast of the mighty is like a hard rain against the wall.

⁵ You shall bring down the noise of the strangers, as the heat in a dry place. He will bring down the song of the mighty, as the heat with the shade of a cloud.

⁶ And on this mountain shall the LORD of Hosts make a feast of fat things for all people, a feast of refined wines, of fat things full of marrow, of refined and purified wines.

⁷ And on this mountain, He will destroy the covering that covers all people, and the veil that is spread upon all nations.

⁸ He will destroy death forever. And the LORD God will wipe away the tears from all faces. And He will take away the rebuke of His people out of all the Earth. For the LORD has spoken it.

⁹ And on that day men shall say, “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 rejoice and be joyful in salvation!”

¹⁰ For on this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest. And Moab shall be threshed under Him, as straw is threshed in Madmenah.

¹¹ And He shall stretch out His hand in the midst of them, as he who swims stretches out to swim. And with the strength of His hands He shall bring down their pride.

¹² Also, He shall bring down the defense of the height of your walls and lay them low, cast them to the ground, into the dust.
