New International Version

Isaiah 25:3-7 New International Version (NIV)

3. Therefore strong peoples will honor you; cities of ruthless nations will revere you.

4. You have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in their distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat. For the breath of the ruthless is like a storm driving against a wall

5. and like the heat of the desert. You silence the uproar of foreigners; as heat is reduced by the shadow of a cloud, so the song of the ruthless is stilled.

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

7. On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations;
