low.
[6] 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.
[7] And he will destroy
in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
[8]
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.
[9] And it shall
be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we
have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
[10] For in this mountain shall the hand
of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the
dunghill.
[11] And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth
forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
[12]
And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even
to the dust.
Isa.26
[1] In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah; We have a strong city; salvation will God appoint
for walls and bulwarks.
[2] Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may
enter in.
[3] Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in
thee.
[4] Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength:
[5] For he bringeth
down them that dwell on high; the lofty city, he layeth it low; he layeth it low, even to the ground; he bringeth
it even to the dust.
[6] The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
[7]
The way of the just is uprightness: thou, most upright, dost weigh the path of the just.
[8] Yea, in the way
of thy judgments, O LORD, have we waited for thee; the desire of our soul is to thy name, and to the
remembrance of thee.
[9] With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I
seek thee early: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.
[10]
Let favour be shewed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness: in the land of uprightness will
he deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.
[11] LORD, when thy hand is lifted up,
they will not see: but they shall see, and be ashamed for their envy at the people; yea, the fire of thine
enemies shall devour them.
[12] LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought all our
works in us.
[13] O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion over us: but by thee only
will we make mention of thy name.
[14] They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they shall
not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all their memory to perish.
[15] Thou
hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed
it far unto all the ends of the earth.
[16] LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a prayer
when thy chastening was upon them.
[17] Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her
delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been in thy sight, O LORD.
[18] We have
been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any
deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
[19] Thy dead men shall live,
together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the
dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
[20] Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers,
and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself as it were for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
[21]
For, behold, the LORD cometh out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the
earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.
Isa.27
[1] In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing
serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
[2] In that
day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.
[3] I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest
any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
[4] Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against
me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
[5] Or let him take hold of my strength,
that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.
[6] He shall cause them that come
of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
[7] Hath he
smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that
