Isaiah 25:3-7 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

3. Now strong and cruel nationswill fear and honour you.

4. You have been a place of safetyfor the poor and needyin times of trouble.Brutal enemies pounded uslike a heavy rainor the heat of the sun at midday,but you were our shelter.

5. Those wild foreigners strucklike scorching desert heat.But you were like a cloud,protecting us from the sun.You kept our enemies from singingsongs of victory.

6. On this mountainthe Lord All-Powerfulwill prepare for all nationsa feast of the finest foods.Choice wines and the best meatswill be served.

7. Here the Lord will strip awaythe burial clothesthat cover the nations.
