Isaiah 25:3-5
Expanded Bible
3 People from powerful nations will ·honor [glorify] you;
·cruel people from strong cities [L cities of cruel/ruthless people] will fear you.
4 You ·protect [L are a refuge/stronghold to] the poor;
you protect the ·helpless [needy] when they are in ·danger [distress].
You are like a shelter from storms,
like shade that protects them from the heat.
The ·cruel people attack [L breath of the cruel/ruthless]
like a rainstorm beating against the wall,
5 like the ·heat [or drought] in the desert.
But you, God, ·stop their violent attack [L subdue/silence the uproar of foreigners].
As the shadow from a cloud cools a hot day,
you silence the songs of ·those who have no mercy [the ruthless].
