AB - Isaiah - 25

25:1  O Lord God, I will glorify You, I will sing to Your name; for You have done wonderful things, even an ancient and faithful counsel. Amen.

25:2  For You have made cities a heap, even cities made strong that their foundations should not fall; the city of ungodly men shall not be built forever.

25:3  Therefore shall the poor people bless You, and cities of injured men shall bless You.

25:4  For You have been a helper to every lowly city, and a shelter to them that were disheartened by reason of poverty; You shall deliver them from wicked men; You have been a shelter for them that thirst, and a refreshing air to injured men.

25:5  We were as faint-hearted men thirsting in Zion, by reason of ungodly men to whom You delivered us.

25:6  And the Lord of hosts shall make a feast for all the nations; on this mount they shall drink gladness, they shall drink wine;

25:7  they shall anoint themselves with ointment in this mountain. Impart all these things to the nations; for this is God's counsel upon all the nations.

25:8  Death has prevailed and swallowed men up; but again the Lord God has taken away every tear from every face. He has taken away the reproach of His people from all the earth; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken it.

25:9  And in that day they shall say, behold our God in whom we have trusted, and He shall save us; this is the Lord; we have waited for Him, and we have exalted, and will rejoice in our salvation.

25:10  God will give rest on this mountain, and the country of Moab shall be trodden down, as they tread the floor with wagons.

25:11  And He shall spread forth His hands, even as He also brings down man to destroy him; and He shall bring low his pride regarding that in which he has laid his hands.

25:12  And He shall bring down the height of the refuge of the wall, and it shall come down, even to the ground.
