## Isaiah 25:2-9 in Context (Verses 1–12 KJV)
 
 [1 ](/kjv/isaiah/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 ](/kjv/isaiah/25/2) 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 ](/kjv/isaiah/25/3) Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
 
 [4 ](/kjv/isaiah/25/4) 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 ](/kjv/isaiah/25/5) 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 ](/kjv/isaiah/25/6) ¶ 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 ](/kjv/isaiah/25/7) 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 ](/kjv/isaiah/25/8) 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*.
 
 [9 ](/kjv/isaiah/25/9) ¶ 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 ](/kjv/isaiah/25/10) 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 ](/kjv/isaiah/25/11) 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 ](/kjv/isaiah/25/12) 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.
 
[Isaiah 24](/kjv/isaiah/24) [Isaiah 26](/kjv/isaiah/26)
