Chapter 25

¹ O Lord God, I will glorify thee, I will sing to thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things, [even] an ancient [and] faithful counsel. So be it. ² For thou hast made cities a heap, [even] cities [made] strong that their foundations should not fall: the city of ungodly men shall not be built forever. ³ Therefore shall the poor people bless thee, and cities of injured men shall bless thee. ⁴ For thou hast been a helper to every lowly city, and a shelter to them that were disheartened by reason of poverty: thou shalt deliver them from wicked men: [thou hast been] a shelter of them that thirst, and a refreshing air to injured men.

Isa 25:1-4

⁵ [We were] as faint-hearted men thirsting in Zion, by reason of ungodly men to whom thou didst deliver us. ⁶ And the Lord of hosts shall make [a feast] for all the nations: on this mount they shall drink gladness, they shall drink wine: ⁷ they shall anoint themselves with ointment in this mountain. Impart thou all these things to the nations; for this is [God’s] counsel upon all the nations. ⁸ Death has prevailed and swallowed [men] up; but again the Lord God has taken away every tear from every face. He has taken away the reproach of [his] people from all the earth: for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it. ⁹ And in that day they shall say, Behold our God in whom we have trusted, and he shall save us: this [is] the Lord; we have waited for him, and we have exulted, and will rejoice in our salvation.

Isa 25:5-9

¹⁰ God will give rest on this mountain, and the country of Moab shall be trodden down, as they tread the floor with wagons. ¹¹ And he shall spread forth his hands, even as he also brings down [man] to destroy [him]: and he shall bring low his pride [in regard to the thing] on which he has laid his hands. ¹² And he shall bring down the height of the refuge of the wall, and it shall come down even to the ground.
