Isaiah 25:2-4

Modern English Version

² For You have made a city into a heap,
    a fortified city into a ruin;
a palace of strangers is a city no longer;
    it shall never be built.
³ Therefore a strong people shall glorify You;
    cities of ruthless nations shall fear You.
⁴ For You have been a defense to the poor,
    a defense to the needy in his distress,
a refuge from the storm,
    a shadow from the heat;
for the breath of the ruthless ones
    is as a storm against the wall.
