Context of Isaiah 25:10

8He will swallow up death forever! The Sovereign Lord will wipe away all tears. He will remove forever all insults and mockery against his land and people. The Lord has spoken! 9In that day the people will proclaim, “This is our God! We trusted in him, and he saved us! This is the Lord, in whom we trusted. Let us rejoice in the salvation he brings!” For the Lord’s hand of blessing will rest on Jerusalem. But Moab will be crushed. It will be like straw trampled down and left to rot. 11God will push down Moab’s people as a swimmer pushes down water with his hands. He will end their pride and all their evil works. 12The high walls of Moab will be demolished. They will be brought down to the ground, down into the dust.
