Chapter 25 | |
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.  |
