The Prophecy
of Isaias 25
O Lord, thou art my God, I will exalt O thee, and give
glory to thy name: for thou hast done wonderful things,
thy designs of old faithful, amen.
For thou hast reduced the city to a heap, the strong
city to ruin, the house of strangers, to be no city,
and to be no more built up for ever.
Therefore shall a strong people praise thee, the city
of mighty nations shall fear thee.
Because thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength
to the needy in his distress: a refuge from the whirlwind,
a shadow from the heat. For the blast of the mighty
is like a whirlwind beating against a wall.
Thou shalt bring down the tumult of strangers, as heat
in thirst: and as with heat under a burning cloud, thou
shalt make the branch of the mighty to wither away.
And the Lord of hosts shall make unto all people in
this mountain, a feast of fat things, a feast of wine,
of fat things full of marrow, of wine purified from
the lees.
And he shall destroy in this mountain the face of the
bond with which all people were tied, and the web that
he began over all nations.
He shall cast death down headlong for ever: and the
Lord God shall wipe away tears from every face, and
the reproach of his people he shall take away from off
the whole earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.
And they shall say in that day: Lo, this is our God,
we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is
the Lord, we have patiently waited for him, we shall
rejoice and be joyful in his salvation.
For the hand of the Lord shall rest in this mountain:
and Moab shall be trodden down under him, as straw is
broken in pieces with the wain.
And he shall stretch forth his hands under him, as he
that swimmeth stretcheth forth his hands to swim: and
he shall bring down his glory with the dashing of his
hands.
And the bulwarks of thy high walls shall fall, and be
brought low, and shall be pulled down to the ground,
even to the dust.

he shall bring down his glory with the dashing of his

brought low, and shall be pulled down to the ground,
