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.

World English Bible
6 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. 7 He will destroy in this mountain the surface of the covering that covers all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations. 8 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.
9 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.
