Chapter 25

     O Jehovah, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name;
for thou hast done wonderful things, even counsels of old, in faithfulness and
truth.  For thou hast made of a city a heap, of a fortified city a ruin, a
palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built. Therefore shall a
strong people glorify thee; a city of terrible nations shall fear thee.  For
thou hast been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his
distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of
the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.  As the heat in a dry place
wilt thou bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shade of a
cloud, the song of the terrible ones shall be brought low.

     And 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.  And he will ^10 destroy in this mountain the
face of the covering that covereth all peoples, and the veil that is spread
over all nations.  He hath swallowed up death for ever; 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 it.

[Footnote 10: Heb. swallow up.]

     And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; 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.  For in this mountain will the hand of
Jehovah rest; and Moab shall be trodden down in his place, even as straw is
trodden down ^1 in the water of the dunghill.  And he shall spread forth his
hands in the midst ^2 thereof, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands
to swim; but Jehovah will lay low ^3 his pride ^4 together with the craft of
^3 his hands.  And the high fortress of thy walls ^5 hath he brought down,
laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.

[Footnote 1: Another reading is, in the dunghill.]
