Isaiah 25:6-12

Common English Bible

⁶ On this mountain,
    the Lord of heavenly forces will prepare for all peoples
        a rich feast, a feast of choice wines,
        of select foods rich in flavor,
        of choice wines well refined.
⁷ He will swallow up on this mountain the veil that is veiling all peoples,
    the shroud enshrouding all nations.
⁸ He will swallow up death^[a] forever.
The Lord God will wipe tears from every face;
    he will remove his people’s disgrace from off the whole earth,
        for the Lord has spoken.
⁹ They will say on that day,
“Look! This is our God,
    for whom we have waited—
    and he has saved us!
This is the Lord, for whom we have waited;
    let’s be glad and rejoice in his salvation!”
¹⁰     The Lord’s hand will indeed rest on this mountain.

Moab will be trampled down
    as straw is trampled into manure.
¹¹ When in it they spread out their hands
    as swimmers spread out their hands to swim,
    God will lay low their pride, even by the efforts of their hands.
¹² The fortified towers of their^[b] walls
    will be thrown down, will be leveled,
    will be brought down to the earth, to the dust.
