Isaiah 25

Isaiah praises YHWH for his protection as a stronghold and refuge from enemies, describing a future feast on Mount Zion where YHWH swallows up death forever and wipes away tears.[1] YHWH restores Israel, bringing joy in salvation, while judging Moab by drowning its pride like in the waters of Sela.[1]
