Isaiah 25
25
1Jehovah, thou art my God#GodHebrew: Elohim I will exalt thee; I will celebrate thy name, for thou hast done wonderful things; counsels of old which are faithfulness and truth. 2For thou hast made of the city a heap, of the fortified town a ruin, the palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built up. 3Therefore shall the mighty people glorify thee, the city of terrible nations shall fear thee. 4For thou hast been a fortress to the poor, a fortress for the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat: for the blast of the terrible ones has been as the storm against a wall. 5Thou hast subdued the tumult of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; as the heat, by the shadow of a cloud, so the song of the terrible ones is brought low.
6And in this mountain will Jehovah of hosts make unto all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. 7And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the veil which veileth all the peoples, and the covering that is spread over all the nations. 8He will swallow up death in victory. And the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of his people will he take away from off all the earth: for Jehovah hath spoken.
9And it shall be said in that day, Behold, this is our God#GodHebrew: Elohim we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is Jehovah, we have waited for him; we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. 10For in this mountain shall the hand of Jehovah rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, as straw is trodden down in the dunghill; 11and he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth them forth to swim; and he shall bring down their pride together with the plots of their hands. 12And the fortress of the high defences of thy walls will he bring down, lay low, bring to the ground, into the 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.
