Isaiah 25:4-9

New International Version

⁴You 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.

⁶On 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)
⁷On 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)

⁹In that day^(R) they will say,

“Surely this is our God;^(S)
we trusted^(T) in him, and he saved^(U) us.
This is the Lord, we trusted in him;
let us rejoice^(V) and be glad in his salvation.”^(W)
