Isaiah 25:6-12

6 The Lord Almighty will prepare a feast on this mountain.

It will be a feast for all the nations of the world.

It will be a great feast, with plenty of meat and wine.

The best meat and the best wine will be there.

7 On this mountain the Lord will take away the things

that make all people sad.

He will remove the cloth

that covers the people of all nations.

8 The Almighty Lord will destroy death for ever.

He will clean away the tears in everyone's eyes.

His people will not feel ashamed any more.

Nobody in all the world will ever insult them again.

That is what the Lord has said.

9 At that time, people will say,

‘Look! This is our God!

We trusted him to keep us safe,

and he rescued us.

Yes, this is the Lord!

We trusted him to keep us safe.

We will sing with joy,

because he has saved us.’

10 The Lord's power will bless this mountain.

He will knock down Moab's people

and he will walk all over them.

He will walk on them,

as if they are straw in a heap of dung.

11 Moab's people will try to escape from that punishment.

They will push with their hands as they try to swim out!

But the Lord will make their proud strength useless,

whatever they do to escape.

12 He will knock down the high walls of Moab's city.

He will completely destroy their strong place.

It will all fall down into the dust on the ground.
