Isaiah

Isaiah 25:3–4

³Therefore, a strong people will honor You.

The cities of ruthless nations will revere You.

⁴For You have been a refuge for the poor,

a stronghold for the needy in distress,

a refuge from the storm,

a shade from the heat.

For the breath of the ruthless

is like rain against a wall,
