Isaiah 25:9

Isaiah 25:9

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.

11 And He will spread out His hands in their midst
As a swimmer reaches out to swim,
And He will bring down their ^apride
Together with the trickery of their hands.

12 The ^afortress of the high fort of your walls
He will bring down, lay low,
And bring to the ground, down to the dust.

<< Isaiah 25:8

Isaiah 25:10 >>

And it shall be said in that day, etc.—"After death has been swallowed up for ever, the people of God, who had been delivered from the hand of death, shall say to the Lord, Lo, this is our God, whom unbelievers regarded as only a man" [JEROME]. "The words are so moulded as to point us specially to the person of the Son of God, who 'saves' us; as He vouchsafed to Israel temporal saving, so to His elect He appears for the purpose of conferring eternal salvation" [VITRINGA]. The Jews, however, have a special share in the words, This is our God (see on Isaiah 25:6).

we have waited—"Waited" is characteristic of God's people in all ages (Genesis 49:18; Titus 2:13).

we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation—compare Psalms 118:24, which refers to the second coming of Jesus (compare Psalms 118:26, with Luke 13:35).
