Death Will Be Swallowed Up
6 On this mountain Yahweh Tsebaoth will prepare for all people
a feast with the best foods,
a banquet with aged wines,
with the best foods and the finest wines.
7 On this mountain he will remove
the veil of grief covering all people
and the mask covering all nations.
8 He will swallow up death forever.
Adonay Yahweh will wipe away tears from every face,
and he will remove the disgrace of his people from the whole earth.
Yahweh has spoken.
9 On that day his people will say,
“This is our Elohim; we have waited for him, and now he will save us.
This is Yahweh; we have waited for him.
Let us rejoice and be glad because he will save us.”
10 Yahweh’s power will be on this mountain.
Moab will be trampled beneath him
like straw that is trampled in a pile of manure.
35 When it was late, his disciples came to him. They said, “No one lives around here, and it’s already late. 36 Send the people to the closest farms and villages to buy themselves something to eat.”
37 Yeshua replied, “You give them something to eat.”
They said to him, “Should we go and spend about a year’s wages on bread to feed them?”
38 He said to them, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.”
When they found out, they told him, “Five loaves of bread and two fish.”
39 Then he ordered all of them to sit down in groups on the green grass. 40 They sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties.
41 After he took the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and blessed the food. He broke the loaves apart and kept giving them to the disciples to give to the people. He also gave pieces of the two fish to everyone. 42 All of them ate as much as they wanted. 43 When they picked up the leftover pieces, they filled twelve baskets with bread and fish. 44 There were 5,000 men who had eaten the bread.
