Isaiah 25 Summary
God's Strength for the Poor and the Feast on Mount Zion
The prophet exalts the Lord as God of faithfulness and truth, who has destroyed the cities of terrible nations. He becomes a strength to the poor and needy, a refuge from storm and heat. On His mountain, the Lord makes for all people a feast of rich foods and refined wines, and destroys the veil covering all nations. Death itself shall be swallowed up in victory, and tears wiped from all faces.

Isaiah 25:1-3
“O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built. Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.”
Isaiah 25:6-8
“And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.”
