Isaiah 25:2-4
Amplified Bible
2
For You have made a city into a heap [of trash],
A fortified city into a ruin;
A palace of [a]foreigners is no longer a city,
It will never be rebuilt.
3
Therefore a strong people will honor You;
Cities of terrible and violent nations will fear You.
4
For You have been a stronghold for the helpless,
A stronghold for the poor in his distress,
A shelter from the storm, a shade from the heat;
For the breath of tyrants
Is like a rainstorm against a wall.
