Isaiah 25:6-12
New Century Version
God’s Banquet for His Servants
6 The Lord All-Powerful will prepare a feast
on this mountain for all people.
It will be a feast with all the best food and wine,
the finest meat and wine.
7 On this mountain God will destroy
the veil that covers all nations,
the veil that stretches over all peoples;
8 he will destroy death forever.
The Lord God will wipe away every tear from every face.
He will take away the shame of his people from the earth.
The Lord has spoken.
9 At that time people will say,
“Our God is doing this!
We have waited for him, and he has come to save us.
This is the Lord. We waited for him,
so we will rejoice and be happy when he saves us.”
10 The Lord will protect Jerusalem,
but he will crush our enemy Moab
like straw that is trampled down in the manure.
11 They will spread their arms in it
like a person who is swimming.
But God will bring down their pride,
and all the clever things they have made will mean nothing.
12 Moab’s high walls protect them,
but God will destroy these walls.
He will throw them down to the ground,
even to the dust.
