Isaiah 25:7-9
New English Translation
7 On this mountain he will swallow up
the shroud that is over all the peoples,[a]
the woven covering that is over all the nations;[b]
8 he will swallow up death permanently.[c]
The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from every face,
and remove his people’s disgrace from all the earth.
Indeed, the Lord has announced it![d]
9 At that time they will say,[e]
“Look, here[f] is our God!
We waited for him, and he delivered us.
Here[g] is the Lord! We waited for him.
Let’s rejoice and celebrate his deliverance!”
Footnotes
- Isaiah 25:7 tn The Hebrew text reads, “the face of the shroud, the shroud over all the nations.” Some emend the second הַלּוֹט (hallot) to a passive participle הַלּוּט (hallut, “that is wrapped”).
- Isaiah 25:7 sn The point of the imagery is unclear. Perhaps the shroud/covering referred to was associated with death in some way (see v. 8).
- Isaiah 25:8 sn The image of the Lord “swallowing” death would be especially powerful, for death was viewed in Canaanite mythology and culture as a hungry enemy that swallows its victims. See the note at 5:14.
- Isaiah 25:8 tn Heb “has spoken” (so NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).
- Isaiah 25:9 tn Heb “and one will say in that day.”
- Isaiah 25:9 tn Heb “this [one].”
- Isaiah 25:9 tn Heb “this [one].”
