As heat in a dry place;
As heat in the shadow of a cloud,
The song of the terrible ones will be1 diminished.
bThe Lord of hosts will make for call people
A feast of1 choice pieces,
A feast of1 wines on the lees,
Of fat things full of marrow,
Of well-refined wines on the lees.
The surface of the covering cast over all people,
And athe veil that is spread over all nations.
And the Lord God will bwipe away tears from all faces;
The rebuke of His people
He will take away from all the earth;
For the Lord has spoken.
“Behold, this is our God;
aWe have waited for Him, and He will save us.
This is the Lord;
We have waited for Him;
bWe will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.”
And aMoab shall be trampled down under Him,
As straw is trampled down for the refuse heap.

Isaiah 25:7
And he will destroy - Hebrew, ' He will swallow up,' that is, he will abolish, remove, or take away.
In this mountain the face of the covering - In mount Zion, or in Jerusalem. This would be done in Jerusalem, or on the mountains of which Jerusalem was a part, where the great transactions of the plan of redemption would be accomplished. The word ' face' here is used as it is frequently among the Hebrews, where the face of a thing denotes its aspect. or appearance, and then the thing itself. Thus ' the face of God' is put for God himself; the ' face of the earth' for the earth itself; and the ' face of the vail' means the veil itself, or the appearance of the veil. To cover the head or the face was a common mode of expressing grief (see II Samuel 15:30; II Samuel 19:5; Esther 6:12). It is probable that the expression here is taken from this custom, and the veil over the nations here is to be understood as expressive of the ignorance, superstition, crime, and wretchedness that covered the earth.
