Hebrew. *'aromimka* , *'odeh shimka* . Reference to Pentateuch ([Exodus 15:2](../../../kjv/exodus/15/2) ). App-92 . **wonderful things** = a wonderful deed. **strangers** = foreigners. See note on [Isaiah 5:17](../../../kjv/isaiah/5/17) . **strength** = stronghold. **poor.** Hebrew. *dal* = impoverished, reduced. See note on "poverty" [Proverbs 6:11](../../../kjv/proverbs/6/11) . **when the blast of the terrible ones is** = for the blast of the terrible ones [is], &c. **blast.** Hebrew. *ruach* ( App-9 ), as in [Isaiah 37:7](../../../kjv/isaiah/37/7) . [Exodus 15:8](../../../kjv/exodus/15/8) . [2 Kings 19:7](../../../kjv/2-kings/19/7) . **branch** = triumphal song. **brought low** = become low. **the LORD of hosts.** See note on [1 Samuel 1:3](../../../kjv/1-samuel/1/3) . **people** = the peoples. **a feast.** Note the Figure of speech *Paronomasia* in this verse: a feast (Hebrew. *mishteh)* of fat things (Hebrew. *shemanim)* , a feast of (Hebrew. *mishteh)* wines on the lees (Hebrew. *shemarim)* ; of fat things (Hebrew. *shemanim)* **full of marrow** (Hebrew. *memuhyim)* , of wines on the lees (Hebrew. *shemarim)* . All these words are thus heaped together to impress us with the greatness of this feast. **wines on the lees.** Hebrew. *shemarim* ( App-27 ), see above = wines purified from the lees. **destroy** = swallow up, as in [Isaiah 25:8](../../../kjv/isaiah/25/8) . **this mountain:** i.e. Zion ([Isaiah 2:1](../../../kjv/isaiah/2/1) , [Isaiah 2:2](../../../kjv/isaiah/2/2) ; [Isaiah 24:23](../../../kjv/isaiah/24/23) ). **cast** = covered. **people** = the peoples. **swallow up.** Same word as "destroy" ([Isaiah 25:7](../../../kjv/isaiah/25/7) ), so as to cause a thing to disappear and be no more. Compare [Numbers 16:30](../../../kjv/numbers/16/30) . [Psalms 69:15](../../../kjv/psalms/69/15) ; [Psalms 106:17](../../../kjv/psalms/106/17) . [Jonah 1:17](../../../kjv/jonah/1/17) . **in victory.** Hebrew. *nezah* = for ever. Occurs in [Isaiah 13:20](../../../kjv/isaiah/13/20) ; [Isaiah 28:28](../../../kjv/isaiah/28/28) ; [Isaiah 33:20](../../../kjv/isaiah/33/20) ; [Isaiah 34:10](../../../kjv/isaiah/34/10) ; and in the "latter portion", [Isaiah 57:16](../../../kjv/isaiah/57/16) ; rendered "victory" in [1 Chronicles 29:11](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/29/11) . [1 Samuel 15:29](../../../kjv/1-samuel/15/29) . Quoted in [1 Corinthians 15:54](../../../kjv/1-corinthians/15/54) **:** where we have the Holy Spirit's comment on the word, giving the additional thought of "victory". See App-79 . **rebuke** = reproach. **we have waited.** Reference to Pentateuch ([Genesis 49:18](../../../kjv/genesis/49/18) .) **Moab. as straw. for the dunghill.** Note the Figure of speech *Homoeopropheron* ( App-6 ). Moab. *mathben* , *beMo Madmenah* . which occurs only here, is used to complete the Figure of speech *Homoeopropheron* . See above. **trodden down** = beaten to pieces by treading. **for the dunghill** = in Madmenah, as in [Isaiah 10:31](../../../kjv/isaiah/10/31) and [Jeremiah 48:2](../../../kjv/jeremiah/48/2) , Revised Version quite wrong, "in the water of the dunghill". Dung is never watered in the East, but dried, and used as fuel ([Ezekiel 4:15](../../../kjv/ezekiel/4/15) ), and is found only in the streets of towns and villages. In [Psalms 83:10](../../../kjv/psalms/83/10) "earth" is *adamah* = ground. See note there. **spread forth His hands.** In the East all swimmers swim "hand over hand", and beat the water with loud noise. Parallel with the beating of straw in [Isaiah 25:10](../../../kjv/isaiah/25/10) . Compare [Isaiah 63](../../../kjv/isaiah/63) . **as=according as.** **spoils** = devices, or artifices. **bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground.** Note the Figure of speech *Synonymia* , to emphasize the certainty and reality of what had been expressed by the Figure of speech *Simile* in verses: [Isaiah 25:10](../../../kjv/isaiah/25/10) , [Isaiah 25:11](../../../kjv/isaiah/25/11) . ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/isaiah/25#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/images/missing.jpg","width":640,"height":370,"caption":"Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Isaiah 25"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/isaiah/25#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/isaiah/25","name":"Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Isaiah 25","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/isaiah/25#primaryimage"},"datePublished":null,"dateModified":null,"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"I will exalt Thee, I will praise Thy name.
