Isaiah 25:6-12

Contemporary English Version

The Lord Has Saved Us

⁶On this mountain
    the Lord All-Powerful
will prepare for all nations
    a feast of the finest foods.
Choice wines and the best meats
    will be served.
⁷Here the Lord will strip away
the burial clothes
    that cover the nations.
⁸^(A) The Lord All-Powerful
will destroy the power of death
    and wipe away all tears.
No longer will his people
be insulted everywhere.
    The Lord has spoken!

⁹At that time, people will say,
“The Lord has saved us!
    Let's celebrate.
We waited and hoped—
    now our God is here.”
¹⁰^(B) The powerful arm of the Lord
    will protect this mountain.

The Moabites will be put down
and trampled on like straw
    in a pit of manure.
¹¹They will struggle to get out,
but God will humiliate them
    no matter how hard they try.^[a]
¹²The walls of their fortresses
will be knocked down
    and scattered in the dirt.
