Isaiah 25:3-9

English Standard Version

³^(A)Therefore strong peoples will glorify you;
    cities of ruthless nations will fear you.
⁴^(B)For you have been a stronghold to the poor,
    a stronghold to the needy in his distress,
    ^(C)a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat;
^(D)for the breath of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall,
⁵    ^(E)like heat in a dry place.
You subdue the noise of the foreigners;
    as heat by the shade of a cloud,
    so the song of the ruthless is put down.

⁶^(F)On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples
    a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine,
    ^(G)of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined.
⁷And he will swallow up ^(H)on this mountain
    the covering that is cast over all peoples,
    ^(I)the veil that is spread over all nations.
⁸    ^(J)He will swallow up death forever;
and ^(K)the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces,
    and ^(L)the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth,
    ^(M)for the Lord has spoken.
⁹It will be said on that day,
    “Behold, this is our God; ^(N)we have waited for him, that he might save us.
    This is the Lord; we have waited for him;
    ^(O)let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”
