Chapter 25
|
1
|
O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will
praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things;
thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. |
2
|
For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced
city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it
shall never be built. |
3
|
Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the
city of the terrible nations shall fear thee. |
4
|
For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength
to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm,
a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible
ones is as a storm against the wall. |
5
|
Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the
heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of
a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought
low. |
6
|
And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto
all people 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. |
7
|
And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the
covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread
over all nations. |
8
|
He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD
will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke
of his people shall he take away from off all the earth:
for the LORD hath spoken it.
A Bottle Full
of Tears - |
9
|
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
the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and
rejoice in his salvation. |
10
|
For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest,
and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw
is trodden down for the dunghill. |
11
|
And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of
them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to
swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with
the spoils of their hands. |
12
|
And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall
he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even
to the dust. |
