ULT ISA Chapter 25

25 Yahweh, you are my God,

I shall exalt you; I shall praise your name;

for you have done wonders

planned long ago in perfect faithfulness.

2 For you have made a town into a heap,

a fortified city into a ruin,

a fortress of strangers from a town,

it will not be built forever.

3 Therefore a strong people will glorify you;

a city of ruthless nations will fear you.

4 For you have been a fortress for the poor,

a fortress for the needy in his distress,

a shelter from the storm, a shade from the heat.

For the breath of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall,

like heat in a dry land.

You subdued the noise of foreigners,

as the heat by the shade of a cloud.

the song of the ruthless is answered.

6 And Yahweh of hosts will make for all peoples on this mountain

a feast of fat things,

a feast of choice wines,

fat things full of marrow, strained wine.

7 And he will consume on this mountain

the face of the veil covering over all peoples

and the web woven over all the nations;

8 he will swallow up death forever.

And the Lord Yahweh will wipe away tears

from off all faces.

And the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth,

for Yahweh has spoken.

9 And it will be said on that day,

“Behold, this is our God;

we have hoped in him, and he saved us.

This is Yahweh; we have hoped in him,

we shall be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”

10 For on this mountain the hand of Yahweh will rest;

and Moab will be trampled down in his place,

as straw is trampled down in a dunghill.

11 And it will spread its hands in the midst of it,

as the swimmer spreads his hands to swim.

But he will bring down its pride with the skill of its hands.

12 And your high fortress walls he will bring down,

bring low, cast to the ground, to the dust.
