Context of Isaiah 25:9

7On this mountain he will remove the veil of grief covering all people and the mask covering all nations. 8He will swallow up death forever. The Almighty Lord will wipe away tears from every face, and he will remove the disgrace of his people from the whole earth. The Lord has spoken. On that day ⌞his people⌟ will say, “This is our God; we have waited for him, and now he will save us. This is the Lord; we have waited for him. Let us rejoice and be glad because he will save us.” 10The Lord’s power will be on this mountain. Moab will be trampled beneath him like straw that is trampled in a pile of manure. 11The Moabites will stretch out their hands in the manure like swimmers who stretch out their hands to swim. ⌞The Lord⌟ will humble those arrogant people despite the movements of their hands.
