Isaiah 25:4-6
International Standard Version
4 For you have been a stronghold for the poor,
a stronghold for the needy in distress,
a shelter from the storm
and a shade from the heat—
for the blistering attack[a] from the ruthless
is like a rainstorm beating against a wall,
5 and the noise of foreigners is like the heat of the desert.
Just as you subdue heat by the shade of clouds,
so the victory songs of violent men will be stilled.
Celebration of the Righteous
6 “On this mountain,[b] the Lord of the Heavenly Armies will prepare for all peoples
a banquet of rich food,
a banquet of well-aged wines—
rich food full of marrow,
and refined wines of the finest[c] vintage

New International Version
4 You have been a refuge(A) for the poor,(B)
a refuge for the needy(C) in their distress,
a shelter from the storm(D)
and a shade from the heat.
For the breath of the ruthless(E)
is like a storm driving against a wall
5 and like the heat of the desert.
You silence(F) the uproar of foreigners;(G)
as heat is reduced by the shadow of a cloud,
so the song of the ruthless(H) is stilled.
