Isaiah 25:8–9

8He will swallow up death forever.a

The Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from every faceb

and remove the disgrace of His people

from the whole earth.

For the LORD has spoken.

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.”
