ISAIAH 25:1 - 9 |
O LORD, You are my God. I will exalt You, I will praise Your name, for You have done wonderful things, Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. 2 For You have made a city a ruin, a fortified city a ruin, a palace of foreigners to be a city no more: it will never be rebuilt. 3 Therefore the strong people will glorify You; the city of the terrible nations will fear You. 4 For You have been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuse from the strom, a shade from the heat; for the blast off the terrible ones is a strom against the wall 5 You will reduce the noise of aliens, as heat in a dry palace; as heat in the shadow of a cloud, the song of the terrible ones will be diminish. 6 And in this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all people a feast of choice pieces, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of well–refined wines on the lees. 7 And He will destroy on this mountain the surface of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations. 8 He will swallow up death forever, and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces; the rebuke of His people He will take away from all the earth; for the LORD has spoken. 9 And it will be said in that day: ”Behold, 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.” |
