Isaiah 25 — FBV
25Verse 1Lord, you are my God. I will honor you and praise who you are, because you have done wonderful things that you planned long ago. You are faithful and trustworthy!Verse 2You have turned the city+into a pile of rubble; the fortified town is now a ruin; the foreigner palace is gone. It is no longer a city and it will never be rebuilt.Verse 3Because of this powerful nations will honor you; cities of brutal nations will be in awe of you.Verse 4But you have protected the poor and needy when they were in trouble, you shielded them from storms and shaded them from the heat. For the actions of brutal people are like rain beating against a wall,Verse 5like heat in a desert. You end the noisy uprising of foreigners. In the same way that a cloud's shadow cools down the heat of the day, so the song sung by brutal people is silenced.Verse 6On this mountain+the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast for all nations, a lavish feast of aged wines, rich food, and the best meat.Verse 7On this mountain he will destroy the veil that covers all the nations, the sheet that is over everyone.Verse 8He will destroy death forever. The Lord God will wipe away all tears, and everywhere he will take away the humiliation suffered by his people. The Lord has spoken.Verse 9At that time his people will say, “Look! This is our God; we have trusted in him and he has saved us! This is the Lord we have been looking for. Now we can be happy and celebrate the salvation he brings!”Verse 10The Lord's hand of protection will be on this mountain. But the Moabites will be trampled underfoot like straw into the water of a manure pit.Verse 11They will reach out their hands to try and save themselves, like swimmers using their hands to swim, but their pride will be humbled however much they thrash about.Verse 12Moab,+he will demolish your fortress with the high walls, bringing it down to the ground, into the dust.
