Isaiah 25:8-12

English Standard Version

^{8     (A)}He will swallow up death forever;
and ^(B)the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces,
    and ^(C)the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth,
    ^(D)for the Lord has spoken.
⁹ It will be said on that day,
    “Behold, this is our God; ^(E)we have waited for him, that he might save us.
    This is the Lord; we have waited for him;
    ^(F)let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”
¹⁰ For the hand of the Lord will rest ^(G)on this mountain,
    and ^(H)Moab shall be trampled down in his place,
    as straw is trampled down in a dunghill.^[a]
11 (I)And he will spread out his hands in the midst of it
    as a swimmer spreads his hands out to swim,
    but the Lord ^(J)will lay low his pompous pride together with the skill^[b] of his hands.
¹² And the high fortifications of his walls he will bring down,
    lay low, and cast to the ground, to the dust.
