Isaiah 25:7

Isaiah 25:7

5 You will reduce the noise of aliens,
As heat in a dry place;
As heat in the shadow of a cloud,
The song of the terrible ones will be¹ diminished.

6 And in ^athis mountain
^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.

7 And He will destroy on this mountain
The surface of the covering cast over all people,
And ^athe veil that is spread over all nations.

8 He will ^aswallow up death forever,
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.

9 And it will be said in that day:
“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.”

10 For on this mountain the hand of the Lord will rest,
And ^aMoab shall be trampled down under Him,
As straw is trampled down for the refuse heap.

<< Isaiah 25:6

Isaiah 25:8 >>

face of . . . covering—image from mourning, in which it was usual to cover the face with a veil (II Samuel 15:30). "Face of covering," that is, the covering itself; as in Job 41:13, "the face of his garment," the garment itself. The covering or veil is the mist of ignorance as to a future state, and the way to eternal life, which enveloped the nations (Ephesians 4:18) and the unbelieving Jew (II Corinthians 3:15). The Jew, however, is first to be converted before the conversion of "all nations"; for it is "in this mountain," namely, Zion, that the latter are to have the veil taken off (Psalms 102:13, Psalms 102:15-16, Psalms 102:21-22; Romans 11:12).
