Isaiah 25:6-12
Lexham English Bible
6 And on this mountain Yahweh of hosts will make for all peoples a rich feast,[a]
a feast of aged wines, fat filled with marrow, filtered aged wine.
7 And on this mountain he will destroy[b] the face of the shroud,
the shroud over all peoples,
and the woven covering over all nations.
8 He will destroy[c] death forever,
and the Lord Yahweh will wipe off the tears from all faces,
and he will remove the disgrace of his people from all the earth,
for Yahweh has spoken.
9 And one will say, on that day,
“Look! This is our God! We have waited for him and he saved us!
This is Yahweh; we waited for him!
Let us be glad,
and let us rejoice in his salvation.”
10 For the hand of Yahweh will rest on this mountain,
and Moab shall be trampled down under him
as a heap of straw is trampled down[d] in waters of[e] a dung heap.
11 And it[f] will spread out its hands in the midst of it,
just as the swimmer spreads out to swim,
and its pride will be brought low with the movement[g] of its hands.
12 And he will throw down the fortification of the high point of your walls;
he will bring it low;
he will send it[h] to the ground,
to the dust.

International Standard Version
Celebration of the Righteous
6 “On this mountain,[a] the Lord of the Heavenly Armies will prepare for all peoples
a banquet of rich food,
a banquet of well-aged wines—
rich food full of marrow,
and refined wines of the finest[b] vintage
7 And on this mountain,[c] he will swallow up
the burial[d] shroud that enfolds all peoples,
the veil that is spread over all nations—
8 he has swallowed up[e] death forever!
Then the Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces,
and he will take away the disgrace of his people
from the entire earth.”
for the Lord has spoken.
9 “And you[f] will say at that time,[g]
‘Look! It’s the Lord![h] This is our God!
We waited for him,
and he saved us.
This is the Lord!
We waited for him,
so let us rejoice,
and we will[i] be glad that he has saved us.”
The Misery of Moab
10 For the Lord’s power[j] will rest on this mountain,[k]
but the Moabites will be trodden down beneath him,
just as straw is trodden down
in the slime of[l] a manure pit.
11 They will spread out their hands in the thick of it,
just as swimmers spread out their hands to swim,
but the Lord will bring down their pride,
together with the cleverness of their hands.
12 He brings down the high fortifications of your walls
and lays them low;
he will raze them[m] to the ground,
right down to the dust.
