(A)And Yahweh of hosts will prepare a [a]lavish banquet for (B)all peoples on this mountain;
A banquet of [b]aged wine, [c]choice pieces with marrow,
And [d]refined, aged wine.
And on this mountain He will swallow up the [e](C)covering which is over all peoples,
Even the veil which is [f]stretched over all nations.
He will (D)swallow up death for all time,
And Lord Yahweh will (E)wipe tears away from all faces,
And He will remove the (F)reproach of His people from all the earth;
For Yahweh has spoken.
And it will be said in that day,
“Behold, (G)this is our God in whom we have (H)hoped that (I)He would save us.
This is Yahweh in whom we have hoped;
(J)Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”
10 For the hand of Yahweh will rest on this mountain,
And (K)Moab will be trodden down in his place
As straw is trodden down in the water of a manure pile.
11 And he will (L)spread out his hands in the middle of it
As a swimmer spreads out his hands to swim,
But Yahweh will (M)lay low his lofty pride together with the trickery of his hands.
12 The (N)unassailable fortifications of your walls He will bring down,
Lay low, and cast to the ground, even to the dust.

On this mountain(A) the Lord Almighty will prepare
    a feast(B) of rich food for all peoples,
a banquet of aged wine—
    the best of meats and the finest of wines.(C)
On this mountain he will destroy
    the shroud(D) that enfolds all peoples,(E)
the sheet that covers all nations;
    he will swallow up death(F) forever.
The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears(G)
    from all faces;
he will remove his people’s disgrace(H)
    from all the earth.
The Lord has spoken.(I)

In that day(J) they will say,

“Surely this is our God;(K)
    we trusted(L) in him, and he saved(M) us.
This is the Lord, we trusted in him;
    let us rejoice(N) and be glad in his salvation.”(O)

10 The hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain;(P)
    but Moab(Q) will be trampled in their land
    as straw is trampled down in the manure.
11 They will stretch out their hands in it,
    as swimmers stretch out their hands to swim.
God will bring down(R) their pride(S)
    despite the cleverness[a] of their hands.
12 He will bring down your high fortified walls(T)
    and lay them low;(U)
he will bring them down to the ground,
    to the very dust.
