Isaiah 25:3-5
Contemporary English Version
Isaiah 25:3-5
Contemporary English Version
3 Now strong and cruel nations
will fear and honor you.
4 You have been a place of safety
for the poor and needy
in times of trouble.
Brutal enemies pounded us
like a heavy rain
or the heat of the sun at noon,
but you were our shelter.
5 Those wild foreigners struck
like scorching desert heat.
But you were like a cloud,
protecting us from the sun.
You kept our enemies from singing
songs of victory.
Isaiah 25:3-5
New International Version
Isaiah 25:3-5
New International Version
3 Therefore strong peoples will honor you;(A)
cities of ruthless(B) nations will revere you.
4 You have been a refuge(C) for the poor,(D)
a refuge for the needy(E) in their distress,
a shelter from the storm(F)
and a shade from the heat.
For the breath of the ruthless(G)
is like a storm driving against a wall
5 and like the heat of the desert.
You silence(H) the uproar of foreigners;(I)
as heat is reduced by the shadow of a cloud,
so the song of the ruthless(J) is stilled.
