In this mountain, Yahweh of Armies will make all peoples a feast of choice meat,[a] a feast of choice wines, of choice meat full of marrow, of well refined choice wines. He will destroy in this mountain the surface of the covering that covers all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations. He has swallowed up death forever! The Lord Yahweh will wipe away tears from off all faces. He will take the reproach of his people away from off all the earth, for Yahweh has spoken it.

It shall be said in that day, “Behold, this is our God! We have waited for him, and he will save us! This is Yahweh! We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation!” 10 For Yahweh’s hand will rest in this mountain.

Moab will be trodden down in his place, even like straw is trodden down in the water of the dunghill. 11 He will spread out his hands in the middle of it, like one who swims spreads out hands to swim, but his pride will be humbled together with the craft of his hands. 12 He has brought the high fortress of your walls down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.

  1. 25:6 literally, fat things

(A)Now the Lord of armies 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 destroy the [e](C)covering which is over all peoples,
The veil which is [f]stretched over all nations.
He will [g](D)swallow up death for all time,
And the Lord [h]God will (E)wipe tears away from all faces,
And He will remove the (F)disgrace of His people from all the earth;
For the Lord has spoken.
And it will be said on that day,
“Behold, (G)this is our God for whom we have (H)waited [i]that (I)He might save us.
This is the Lord for whom we have waited;
(J)Let’s rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”
10 For the hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain,
And (K)Moab will be trampled down in his place
As straw is trampled 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 the Lord will (M)lay low his pride together with the trickery of his hands.
12 The (N)unassailable fortifications of your walls He will bring down,
Lay low, and throw to the ground, to the dust.
