25:8 he will swallow up death permanently. 1
The sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from every face,
and remove his people’s disgrace from all the earth.
Indeed, the Lord has announced it! 2
25:9 At that time they will say, 3
“Look, here 4 is our God!
We waited for him and he delivered us.
Here 5 is the Lord! We waited for him.
Let’s rejoice and celebrate his deliverance!”
25:10 For the Lord’s power will make this mountain secure. 6
Moab will be trampled down where it stands, 7
as a heap of straw is trampled down in 8 a manure pile.
25:11 Moab 9 will spread out its hands in the middle of it, 10
just as a swimmer spreads his hands to swim;
the Lord 11 will bring down Moab’s 12 pride as it spreads its hands. 13
25:12 The fortified city (along with the very tops of your 14 walls) 15 he will knock down,
he will bring it down, he will throw it down to the dusty ground. 16
