The Book of the Prophet |
| Isaiah | | 25 |
Praise for the LORD's Favor |
| 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 a heap; of a defensed 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 veil that is spread over all nations.
|
| 8 |
He will swallow up death in victory; 1 Cor. 15.54 and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; Rev. 7.17 ; 21.4 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 Is. 15.1--16.14 · Jer. 48.1-47 · Ezek. 25.8-11 · Amos 2.1-3 · 2.8-11 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.
