Isaiah 25:4-8
New King James Version
4 For You have been a strength to the poor,
A strength to the needy in his distress,
(A)A refuge from the storm,
A shade from the heat;
For the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
5 You will reduce the noise of aliens,
As heat in a dry place;
As heat in the shadow of a cloud,
The song of the terrible ones will be [a]diminished.
6 And in (B)this mountain
(C)The Lord of hosts will make for (D)all people
A feast of [b]choice pieces,
A feast of [c]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 (E)the veil that is spread over all nations.
8 He will (F)swallow up death forever,
And the Lord God will (G)wipe away tears from all faces;
The rebuke of His people
He will take away from all the earth;
For the Lord has spoken.

Isaiah 25:4-8
New International Version
4 You have been a refuge(A) for the poor,(B)
a refuge for the needy(C) in their distress,
a shelter from the storm(D)
and a shade from the heat.
For the breath of the ruthless(E)
is like a storm driving against a wall
5 and like the heat of the desert.
You silence(F) the uproar of foreigners;(G)
as heat is reduced by the shadow of a cloud,
so the song of the ruthless(H) is stilled.
6 On this mountain(I) the Lord Almighty will prepare
a feast(J) of rich food for all peoples,
a banquet of aged wine—
the best of meats and the finest of wines.(K)
7 On this mountain he will destroy
the shroud(L) that enfolds all peoples,(M)
the sheet that covers all nations;
8 he will swallow up death(N) forever.
The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears(O)
from all faces;
he will remove his people’s disgrace(P)
from all the earth.
The Lord has spoken.(Q)
