(KJV) Isaiah 25

⥃Praise to the Victorious God ^{[ Jeremiah 51:15–19 ]}

[1] O Lord, thou [art¹] my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast² done wonderful [things]; [thy] counsels³ of old [are] faithfulness [and] truth. [2] For⁴ thou hast made of a city an heap; [of] a defenced city a ruin: a palace⁵ 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.⁶ [4] For thou hast⁷ been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge⁸ from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when⁹ the blast of the terrible ones [is] as a storm [against] the wall. [5] Thou shalt bring¹⁰ down the noise of strangers, as the heat¹¹ in a dry place; [even] the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch¹² of the terrible ones shall be brought low.

[6] And in this¹³ mountain shall the Lord of hosts make¹⁴ unto all people¹⁵ a feast of fat things, a feast of wines¹⁶ on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. [7] And he will¹⁷ destroy¹⁸ in this mountain the face of the covering cast¹⁹ over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations. [8] He²⁰ will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God²¹ will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke²² of his people shall he take away from off²³ all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken [it].

[9] And it shall²⁴ be said in that day, Lo²⁵, this [is] our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this [is] the Lord; we have waited for him, we will²⁶ be glad and rejoice in his salvation. [10] For in this²⁷ mountain shall the hand of the Lord rest, and Moab²⁸ shall be trodden down²⁹ under him, even³⁰ as straw is trodden down for the dunghill³¹. [11] And he shall spread³² forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth [his hands] to swim: and he shall bring³³ down their pride together with the spoils of their hands. [12] And the fortress³⁴ of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, [and] bring to the ground, [even] to the dust³⁵.
