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. As the heat in a dry place you will 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.

In this mountain, Yahweh of Armies will make all peoples a feast of choice meat,[a] a feast of choice wines, of choice meat full of marrow, of well refined choice wines.

  1. 25:6 literally, fat things

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
    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.

On this mountain(I) the Lord Almighty will prepare
    a feast(J) of rich food for all peoples,
a banquet of aged wine—
    the best of meats and the finest of wines.(K)
