Isaiah

Isaiah 25:8–12

⁸He will swallow up death forever.^a

The Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from every face^b

and remove the disgrace of His people

from the whole earth.

For the LORD has spoken.

⁹And in that day it will be said, “Surely this is our God;

we have waited for Him, and He has saved us.

This is the LORD for whom we have waited.

Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”

¹⁰For the hand of the LORD

will rest on this mountain.

But Moab will be trampled in his place

as straw is trodden into the dung pile.

¹¹He will spread out his hands within it,

as a swimmer spreads his arms to swim.

His pride will be brought low,

despite^c the skill of his hands.

¹²The high-walled fortress will be brought down,

cast to the ground, into the dust.
