Isaiah 25:6-12
English Standard Version
6 (A)On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples
a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine,
(B)of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined.
7 And he will swallow up (C)on this mountain
the covering that is cast over all peoples,
(D)the veil that is spread over all nations.
8 (E)He will swallow up death forever;
and (F)the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces,
and (G)the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth,
(H)for the Lord has spoken.
9 It will be said on that day,
“Behold, this is our God; (I)we have waited for him, that he might save us.
This is the Lord; we have waited for him;
(J)let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”
10 For the hand of the Lord will rest (K)on this mountain,
and (L)Moab shall be trampled down in his place,
as straw is trampled down in a dunghill.[a]
11 (M)And he will spread out his hands in the midst of it
as a swimmer spreads his hands out to swim,
but the Lord (N)will lay low his pompous pride together with the skill[b] of his hands.
12 And the high fortifications of his walls he will bring down,
lay low, and cast to the ground, to the dust.

6 On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples
a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wines,
of rich food filled with marrow, of well-aged wines strained clear.(A)
7 And he will destroy on this mountain
the shroud that is cast over all peoples,
the covering that is spread over all nations;
8 he will swallow up death forever.
Then the Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces,
and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth,
for the Lord has spoken.(B)
9 It will be said on that day,
“See, this is our God; we have waited for him, so that he might save us.
This is the Lord for whom we have waited;
let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”(C)
10 For the hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain.
The Moabites shall be trodden down in their place
as straw is trodden down in the manure.(D)
11 Though they spread out their hands in the midst of it,
as swimmers spread out their hands to swim,
their pride will be laid low despite the struggle[a] of their hands.
12 The high fortifications of his walls will be brought down,
laid low, cast to the ground, even to the dust.
