Isaiah 25:2-4
Expanded Bible
2 You have made the city a ·pile of rocks [L heap]
·and have destroyed her walls [L the fortified city into a ruin].
The ·city our enemies built with strong walls [or foreigners’ fortress] is gone;
it will never be built again.
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,

the fortified(B) town a ruin,(C)
the foreigners’ stronghold(D) a city no more;
it will never be rebuilt.(E)
3 Therefore strong peoples will honor you;(F)
cities of ruthless(G) nations will revere you.
4 You have been a refuge(H) for the poor,(I)
a refuge for the needy(J) in their distress,
a shelter from the storm(K)

For the breath of the ruthless(L)
is like a storm driving against a wall
