A Banquet for All Peoples

On this mountain
the Lord of Armies will prepare for all peoples
    a banquet of rich food,
    a banquet of aged wines,
    with the best cuts of meat,
    and with the finest wines.[a]
On this mountain
he will destroy the shroud that covers all peoples,
the burial cloth stretched over all nations.
He has swallowed up death forever!
The Lord God will wipe away the tears from every face.
He will take away the shame of his people throughout the earth.
For the Lord has spoken.
On that day it will be said,
“Look, here is our God!
We waited for him, and he saved us!
This is the Lord!
We waited for him.
Let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation!”

God Will Punish Moab

10 On this mountain
the Lord’s hand will rest.
Moab will be trampled underfoot,
like straw trampled into manure.
11 Moab will spread out his hands in the middle of it,
    like someone trying to swim,
but the Lord will bring down Moab’s pride,
along with everything[b] Moab’s hands have done.
12 The Lord will topple your high-walled fortress
and bring it to the ground,
all the way down to the dust.
