Isaiah 25:9-12
The Message
9-10 Also at that time, people will say,
“Look at what’s happened! This is our God!
We waited for him and he showed up and saved us!
This God, the one we waited for!
Let’s celebrate, sing the joys of his salvation.
God’s hand rests on this mountain!”
10-12 As for the Moabites, they’ll be treated like trash,
waste shoveled into a cesspool.
Thrash away as they will,
like swimmers trying to stay afloat,
They’ll sink in the sewage.
Their pride will pull them under.
Their famous fortifications will crumble to nothing,
those mighty walls reduced to dust.
Isaiah 25:9-11
New International Version
9 In that day(A) they will say,
“Surely this is our God;(B)
we trusted(C) in him, and he saved(D) us.
This is the Lord, we trusted in him;
let us rejoice(E) and be glad in his salvation.”(F)
10 The hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain;(G)
but Moab(H) will be trampled in their land
as straw is trampled down in the manure.
11 They will stretch out their hands in it,
as swimmers stretch out their hands to swim.
God will bring down(I) their pride(J)
despite the cleverness[a] of their hands.
