Isaiah, starting at chapter 25

   {25:1} The LORD, you are my God. I will exalt you! I will praise
 your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long
 ago, in complete faithfulness and truth. {25:2} For you have made a
 city into a heap, a fortified city into a ruin, a palace of strangers
 to be no city. It will never be built. {25:3} Therefore a strong
 people will glorify you. A city of awesome nations will fear you.
 {25:4} For you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the
 needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat,
 when the blast of the dreaded ones is like a storm against the wall.
 {25:5} As the heat in a dry place will you bring down the noise of
 strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the
 dreaded ones will be brought low. {25:6} In this mountain, the LORD of
 Hosts will make all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of choice
 wines, of fat things full of marrow, of well refined choice wines.
 {25:7} He will destroy in this mountain the surface of the covering
 that covers all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
 {25:8} He has swallowed up death forever! The Lord GOD will wipe away
 tears from off all faces. He will take the reproach of his people away
 from off all the earth, for the LORD has spoken it. {25:9} It shall be
 said in that day, Behold, 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! {25:10} For in this mountain
 the hand of the LORD will rest.

   Moab will be trodden down in his place, even like straw is trodden
 down in the water of the dunghill. {25:11} He will spread out his
 hands in its midst, like one who swims spreads out hands to swim, but
 his pride will be humbled together with the craft of his hands.
 {25:12} He has brought the high fortress of your walls down, laid low,
 and brought to the ground, even to the dust.

   {26:1} In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah:

   We have a strong city.
   God appoints salvation for walls and bulwarks.
 {26:2} Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter:
   the one which keeps faith.
 {26:3} You will keep whoever's mind is steadfast in perfect peace,
   because he trusts in you.
 {26:4} Trust in the LORD forever;
   for in the LORD, the LORD, is an everlasting Rock.
 {26:5} For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city.
   He lays it low.
   He lays it low even to the ground.
   He brings it even to the dust.
 {26:6} The foot shall tread it down;
   Even the feet of the poor,
   and the steps of the needy.
 {26:7} The way of the just is uprightness.
   You who are upright make the path of the righteous level.
 {26:8} Yes, in the way of your judgments, the LORD, have we waited for
 you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul. {26:9} With
 my soul have I desired you in the night. Yes, with my spirit within me
 will I seek you earnestly; for when your judgments are in the earth,
 the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. {26:10} Let favor be
 shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land
 of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see the LORD's
 majesty. {26:11} The LORD, your hand is lifted up, yet they don't see;
 but they will see your zeal for the people, and be disappointed. Yes,
 fire will consume your adversaries. {26:12} The LORD, you will ordain
 peace for us, for you have also worked all our works for us. {26:13}
 The LORD our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us,
 but by you only will we make mention of your name. {26:14} The dead
 shall not live. The deceased shall not rise. Therefore have you
 visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.
 {26:15} You have increased the nation, O LORD. You have increased the
 nation! You are glorified! You have enlarged all the borders of the
 land. {26:16} LORD, in trouble they have visited you. They poured out
 a prayer when your chastening was on them. {26:17} Like as a woman
 with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and
 cries out in her pangs; so we have been before you, LORD. {26:18} We
 have been with child. We have been in pain. We gave birth, it seems,
 only to wind. We have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither
 have the inhabitants of the world fallen. {26:19} Your dead shall
 live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the
 dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast
 forth the dead.

   {26:20} Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors
 behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation
 is past. {26:21} For, behold, the LORD comes forth out of his place to
 punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also
 will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.

 {26:2} Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter:
   the one which keeps faith.
 {26:3} You will keep whoever's mind is steadfast in perfect peace,
   because he trusts in you.
 {26:4} Trust in the LORD forever;
   for in the LORD, the LORD, is an everlasting Rock.
 {26:5} For he has brought down those who dwell on high, the lofty city.
   He lays it low.
   He lays it low even to the ground.
   He brings it even to the dust.
 {26:6} The foot shall tread it down;
   Even the feet of the poor,
   and the steps of the needy.
 {26:7} The way of the just is uprightness.
   You who are upright make the path of the righteous level.
 {26:8} Yes, in the way of your judgments, the LORD, have we waited for
 you. Your name and your renown are the desire of our soul. {26:9} With
 my soul have I desired you in the night. Yes, with my spirit within me
 will I seek you earnestly; for when your judgments are in the earth,
 the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. {26:10} Let favor be
 shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness. In the land
 of uprightness he will deal wrongfully, and will not see the LORD's
 majesty. {26:11} The LORD, your hand is lifted up, yet they don't see;
 but they will see your zeal for the people, and be disappointed. Yes,
 fire will consume your adversaries. {26:12} The LORD, you will ordain
 peace for us, for you have also worked all our works for us. {26:13}
 The LORD our God, other lords besides you have had dominion over us,
 but by you only will we make mention of your name. {26:14} The dead
 shall not live. The deceased shall not rise. Therefore have you
 visited and destroyed them, and caused all memory of them to perish.
 {26:15} You have increased the nation, O LORD. You have increased the
 nation! You are glorified! You have enlarged all the borders of the
 land. {26:16} LORD, in trouble they have visited you. They poured out
 a prayer when your chastening was on them. {26:17} Like as a woman
 with child, who draws near the time of her delivery, is in pain and
 cries out in her pangs; so we have been before you, LORD. {26:18} We
 have been with child. We have been in pain. We gave birth, it seems,
 only to wind. We have not worked any deliverance in the earth; neither
 have the inhabitants of the world fallen. {26:19} Your dead shall
 live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the
 dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast
 forth the dead.

   {26:20} Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors
 behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation
 is past. {26:21} For, behold, the LORD comes forth out of his place to
 punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity. The earth also
 will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.

Isaiah, starting at chapter 25

   {25:1} The LORD, you are my God. I will exalt you! I will praise
 your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long
 ago, in complete faithfulness and truth. {25:2} For you have made a
 city into a heap, a fortified city into a ruin, a palace of strangers
 to be no city. It will never be built. {25:3} Therefore a strong
 people will glorify you. A city of awesome nations will fear you.
 {25:4} For you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the
 needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat,
 when the blast of the dreaded ones is like a storm against the wall.
 {25:5} As the heat in a dry place will you bring down the noise of
 strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the
 dreaded ones will be brought low. {25:6} In this mountain, the LORD of
 Hosts will make all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of choice
 wines, of fat things full of marrow, of well refined choice wines.
 {25:7} He will destroy in this mountain the surface of the covering
 that covers all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
 {25:8} He has swallowed up death forever! The Lord GOD will wipe away
 tears from off all faces. He will take the reproach of his people away
 from off all the earth, for the LORD has spoken it. {25:9} It shall be
 said in that day, Behold, 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! {25:10} For in this mountain
 the hand of the LORD will rest.

   Moab will be trodden down in his place, even like straw is trodden
 down in the water of the dunghill. {25:11} He will spread out his
 hands in its midst, like one who swims spreads out hands to swim, but
 his pride will be humbled together with the craft of his hands.
 {25:12} He has brought the high fortress of your walls down, laid low,
 and brought to the ground, even to the dust.

   {26:1} In that day, this song will be sung in the land of Judah:

   We have a strong city.
   God appoints salvation for walls and bulwarks.
 {26:2} Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter:
   the one which keeps faith.

 his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity.
 The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her
