Isaiah 25:6-12

International Children’s Bible

God’s Banquet for His Servants

⁶The Lord of heaven’s armies will give a feast.
    It will be on this mountain for all people.
It will be a feast with the best food and wine.
    The meat and wine will be the finest.
⁷On this mountain God will destroy
    the veil that covers all nations.
This veil, called “death,” covers all peoples.
⁸But God will destroy death forever.
    The Lord God will wipe away every tear from every face.
God will take away the shame
    of his people from the earth.
The Lord has spoken.

⁹At that time people will say,
    “Our God is doing this!
We have trusted in him, and he has come to save us.
    We have been trusting our Lord.
So we will rejoice and be happy when he saves us.”
¹⁰The Lord will protect Jerusalem.
    But the Lord will crush our enemy Moab.
Moab will be like straw that is trampled down in the manure.
¹¹They will spread their arms in it
    like a person who is swimming.
The Lord will bring down their pride.
    All the clever things they have made will mean nothing.
¹²Moab’s high walls protect them.
    But the Lord will destroy these walls.
The Lord will throw them down on the ground.
    The stones will lie in the dust.
