LEB ISA Chapter 25

Praise for Salvation

• I will praise your name,
• for you have done wonderful things,[fn]
  • plans[fn] [fn] in faithfulness, trustworthiness.
  • 2 [fn] the city a heap, the fortified city a ruin,
• the palace of foreigners[fn] a city;
  • it will[fn] be rebuilt.
  • 3  a city of ruthless nations, they will fear you.
  • 4  a refuge to the needy in his distress,
• a shelter from the rainstorm,
  • a shade from the heat.
• For the breath of the ruthless was like a rainstorm against a wall,[fn]
• 5 the noise of foreigners like heat in a dry land. You subdued the heat with the shade of a cloud;
  • the song of the ruthless was silenced.
  • 6 [fn] a feast of aged wines, fat filled with marrow, filtered aged wine.
  • 7 [fn] the face of the shroud, the shroud over all peoples,
  • and the woven covering over all nations.
  • 8 [fn] death forever, and the Lord Yahweh will wipe off the tears from all faces,
  • and he will remove the disgrace of his people from all the earth,

for Yahweh has spoken.

• 9 And one will say, on that day,“Look! This is our God! We have waited for him and he saved us!
  • This is Yahweh; we waited for him!
• Let us be glad,
  • and let us rejoice in his salvation.”
  • 10  and Moab shall be trampled down under him
    • as[fn] in [fn] a dung heap.
  • 11 [fn] will spread out its hands in the midst of it, just as the swimmer spreads out to swim,
    • and its pride will be brought low with the movement[fn] of its hands.
  • 12  he will bring it low;
• he will[fn] to the ground,
  • to the dust.
