But death will be destroyed forever.[a] And the Lord God will wipe away every tear from every face. In the past, all of his people were sad, but God will take away that sadness from the earth. All of this will happen because the Lord said it would.

At that time people will say,
    “Here is our God!
He is the one we have been waiting for.
    He has come to save us.
We have been waiting for our Lord.
    So we will rejoice and be happy when he saves us.”
10 The Lord’s power is on this mountain,
    and Moab[b] will be defeated.
The Lord will trample the enemy
    like someone walking on straw in a pile of waste.
