ULT ISA Chapter 25

25 Yahweh, you are my God.

I will exalt you, I will praise your name,

for you have done a wonder,

counsels from afar, faithfulness, trustworthiness.

2 For you have made a city a heap,

a fortified city a ruin,

a palace of foreigners not a city;

it will not be built forever.

3 Therefore a strong people will glorify you;

a city of terrible nations will fear you.

4 For you have been a fortress for the poor,

a fortress for the needy in distress to him,

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

for the breath of the terrible is like a storm against a wall,

5 like heat in a dry place.

You will subdue the uproar of foreigners

as heat by the shadow of a cloud.

He silences the song of the terrible.

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

a feast of fat things, a feast of lees,

fat things marrowed, lees strained.

7 And he will swallow up on this mountain

the face of the covering covering over all of the peoples

and the weaving woven over all of the nations:

8 he will swallow up death forever,

and the Lord Yahweh will wipe away the tears

from upon all of the faces.

And he will remove the disgrace of his people

from upon all of the earth,

for Yahweh has spoken.

9 And one will say on that day,

“Behold, this is our God;

we waited for him,

and he saved us.

This is Yahweh;

we waited for him,

let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”

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

and Moab will be trampled in its place

as straw is trampled in a dunghill.

11 And he will spread out his hands in the midst of it

as a swimmer spreads to swim,

but he will bring low his pride

with the craftiness of his hands.

12 And the fortification of the height of your walls,

he will bring down, he will bring low,

he will make it touch the ground, to the dust.
