Isaías 25

Praise to God

1 O Lord, You are my God.

*Ex. 15:2I will exalt You,

I will praise Your name,

*Ps. 98:1For You have done wonderful things;

*Num. 23:19Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

2 For You have made *Is. 21:9; 23:13; Jer. 51:37a city a ruin,

A fortified city a ruin,

A palace of foreigners to be a city no more;

It will never be rebuilt.

3 Therefore the strong people will *Is. 24:15; Rev. 11:13glorify You;

The city of the terrible nations will fear You.

4 For You have been a strength to the poor,

A strength to the needy in his distress,

*Is. 4:6A refuge from the storm,

A shade from the heat;

For the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.

5 You will reduce the noise of aliens,

As heat in a dry place;

As heat in the shadow of a cloud,

The song of the terrible ones will be diminished.

6 And in *(Is. 2:2–4; 56:7)this mountain

*Prov. 9:2; Matt. 22:4The Lord of hosts will make for *(Dan. 7:14; Matt. 8:11)all people

A feast of choice pieces,

A feast of wines on the lees,

Of fat things full of marrow,

Of well-refined wines on the lees.

7 And He will destroy on this mountain

The surface of the covering cast over all people,

And *2 Cor. 3:15; (Eph. 4:18)the veil that is spread over all nations.

8 He will *(Hos. 13:14; 1 Cor. 15:54; Rev. 20:14)swallow up death forever,

And the Lord God will *Is. 30:19; Rev. 7:17; 21:4wipe away tears from all faces;

The rebuke of His people

He will take away from all the earth;

For the Lord has spoken.

9 And it will be said in that day:

"Behold, this is our God;

*Gen. 49:18; Is. 8:17; 26:8; (Titus 2:13)We have waited for Him, and He will save us.

This is the Lord;

We have waited for Him;

*Ps. 20:5We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation."

10 For on this mountain the hand of the Lord will rest,

And *Is. 16:14; Jer. 48:1–47; Ezek. 25:8–11; Amos 2:1–3; Zeph. 2:9Moab shall be trampled down under Him,

As straw is trampled down for the refuse heap.

11 And He will spread out His hands in their midst

As a swimmer reaches out to swim,

And He will bring down their *Is. 24:4; 26:5pride

Together with the trickery of their hands.

12 The *Is. 26:5fortress of the high fort of your walls

He will bring down, lay low,

And bring to the ground, down to the dust.
