Isaiah 25:2-4
The Voice
2 Your power is awesome. You have brought down whole cities,
turned fortresses and strongholds into piles of sticks and rubble.
A citadel of foreigners is no longer even a city.
Those structures are gone forever.
3 This is why nations strong and mighty will glorify You;
the cities of ruthless people will fear and respect You.
4 Because You stand up for the poor and weak,
You comfort and empower them in their distress,
Giving them safe harbor and cool shade when it’s hot;
You shelter them from their oppressors’ blows
As a strong wall holds back the driving rain.
Isaiah 25:2-4
New International Version
2 You have made the city a heap of rubble,(A)
the fortified(B) town a ruin,(C)
the foreigners’ stronghold(D) a city no more;
it will never be rebuilt.(E)
3 Therefore strong peoples will honor you;(F)
cities of ruthless(G) nations will revere you.
4 You have been a refuge(H) for the poor,(I)
a refuge for the needy(J) in their distress,
a shelter from the storm(K)
and a shade from the heat.
For the breath of the ruthless(L)
is like a storm driving against a wall
