King James VersionIsaiah25

Isaiah

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.
