Isaiah 25:1-12 (KJV)
[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.
[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.

May He bless you richly, as you continue
