6The LORD of hosts will prepare a lavish banquet for all peoples on this mountain;
         A banquet of aged wine, choice pieces with marrow,
         And refined, aged wine.

7And on this mountain He will swallow up the covering which is over all peoples,
         Even the veil which is stretched over all nations.

8He will swallow up death for all time,
         And the Lord GOD will wipe tears away from all faces,
         And He will remove the reproach of His people from all the earth;
         For the LORD has spoken.

9And it will be said in that day,
         “Behold, this is our God for whom we have waited that He might save us.
         This is the LORD for whom we have waited;
         Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”

10For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain,
         And Moab will be trodden down in his place
         As straw is trodden down in the water of a manure pile.

11And he will spread out his hands in the middle of it
         As a swimmer spreads out his hands to swim,
         But the Lord will lay low his pride together with the trickery of his hands.

12The unassailable fortifications of your walls He will bring down,
         Lay low and cast to the ground, even to the dust.
