Isaiah 25:2-4

New Century Version

² You have made the city a pile of rocks
    and have destroyed her walls.
The city our enemies built with strong walls is gone;
    it will never be built again.
³ People from powerful nations will honor you;
    cruel people from strong cities will fear you.
⁴ You protect the poor;
    you protect the helpless when they are in danger.
You are like a shelter from storms,
    like shade that protects them from the heat.
The cruel people attack
    like a rainstorm beating against the wall,
