Context of Isaiah 25:9

7On this mountain the Lord will take away the things that make all people sad. He will remove the cloth that covers the people of all nations. 8The Almighty Lord will destroy death for ever. He will clean away the tears in everyone's eyes. His people will not feel ashamed any more. Nobody in all the world will ever insult them again. That is what the Lord has said. At that time, people will say, ‘Look! This is our God! We trusted him to keep us safe, and he rescued us. Yes, this is the Lord! We trusted him to keep us safe. We will sing with joy, because he has saved us.’ 10The Lord's power will bless this mountain. He will knock down Moab's people and he will walk all over them. He will walk on them, as if they are straw in a heap of dung. 11Moab's people will try to escape from that punishment. They will push with their hands as they try to swim out! But the Lord will make their proud strength useless, whatever they do to escape.
