Yeshayah 25
25
1 Hashem, Thou art Elohai; I will exalt Thee, I will praise Shimecha; for Thou hast done peleh;#25:1 See Isa 9:6 [5] Thy etzot (plans) of old are emunah omen (perfect faithfulness).
2For Thou hast made an Ir a heap; a fortified city, a ruin; the stronghold of the zarim (foreigners) to be rebuilt never more.
3Therefore even the am oz (strong people) shall glorify Thee, the city of the ruthless Goyim shall fear Thee.
4For Thou hast been a ma'oz (refuge) to the poor, a ma'oz to the evyon in his tzoros, a makheseh (shelter, cover) from the zerem (shower, storm, downpour), a tzel (shade) from the chorev (heat), when the ruach of the ruthless ones is like a zerem (shower, storm, downpour) against a wall.
5Thou shalt silence the tumult of zarim, as the chorev (heat) in a dry place; even the chorev by the tzel (shadow) of a cloud; the zemir (battle song) of the ruthless ones shall be brought low.
6And in Har Hazeh#25:6 i.e., Mt Tziyon shall Hashem Tzva'os make unto kol HaAmim a fat mishteh (feast), a mishteh (feast) of finest, aged wines, of finest meats, of the best wines of finest vintage.
7And He will destroy in Har Hazeh the pnei hallot (the face of the covering, the [death] shroud) cast over all people, and the masseikhah (overspreading veil) over Kol HaGoyim.
8He will swallow up HaMavet (death) lanetzach (forever); and Adonoi Hashem will wipe away tears from off kol panim; and the kherpah (shame, disgrace) of His people shall He take away from off kol ha'aretz; for Hashem hath spoken it.
9And it shall be said in Yom HaHu, Hinei, this is Eloheinu; we have waited for Him, and He will save us; this is Hashem; we have waited for Him, we will be glad and have simcha in His Yeshu'ah (Salvation).
10For in Har Hazeh#25:10 i.e., Mt Tziyon shall the Yad Hashem rest, and Moav shall be trodden down under Him, even as straw is trodden down in dung.
11And He shall spread forth His hands in the midst of them, just as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim; and He shall bring down their ga'avah (pride) together with the arvot (cleverness) of their hands.
12And the fortification of thy high chomot (walls) shall He bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the aphar (dust).

Isaiah 25
25
God Will Swallow Up Death Forever
1O Lord, #Ex. 15:2 you are my God;
# [Ps. 107:32] I will exalt you; I will praise your name,
for you have done wonderful things,
# [2 Kgs. 19:25] plans formed of old, faithful and sure.
2For you have made the city #[ch. 17:1; Jer. 51:37]a heap,
the fortified city a ruin;
the foreigners’ palace is a city no more;
it will never be rebuilt.
3 # [ch. 18:7] Therefore strong peoples will glorify you;
cities of ruthless nations will fear you.
4 #
Nah. 1:7 For you have been a stronghold to the poor,
a stronghold to the needy in his distress,
# ch. 4:6 a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat;
# [2 Chr. 32:18] for the breath of the ruthless is like a storm against a wall,
5 # [ch. 32:2] like heat in a dry place.
You subdue the noise of the foreigners;
as heat by the shade of a cloud,
so the song of the ruthless is put down.
6 # ch. 2:2, 3; 11:9; 24:23 On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples
a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine,
# [Ps. 63:5] of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined.
7And he will swallow up #[See ver. 6 above] on this mountain
the covering that is cast over all peoples,
# [2 Cor. 3:15] the veil that is spread over all nations.
8 # Cited 1 Cor. 15:54; [Hos. 13:14] He will swallow up death forever;
and #Rev. 7:17; [ch. 30:19] the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces,
and #[ch. 37:4] the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth,
# See ch. 1:20 for the Lord has spoken.
9It will be said on that day,
“Behold, this is our God; #ch. 26:8; [Gen. 49:18; Ps. 27:14] we have waited for him, that he might save us.
This is the Lord; we have waited for him;
#
Ps. 9:14
let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.”
10For the hand of the Lord will rest #[See ver. 6 above] on this mountain,
and #See ch. 15:1Moab shall be trampled down in his place,
as straw is trampled down in a dunghill.#25:10 The Hebrew words for dunghill and for the Moabite town Madmen (Jeremiah 48:2) sound alike
11 # [ch. 16:12] And he will spread out his hands in the midst of it
as a swimmer spreads his hands out to swim,
but the Lord #[ch. 16:14]will lay low his pompous pride together with the skill#25:11 Or in spite of the skill of his hands.
12And the high fortifications of his walls he will bring down,
lay low, and cast to the ground, to the dust.
