Context of Isaiah 25:7

5Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low. 6And in this mountain shall Yhwh of Armies make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations. 8He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord Yhwh will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for Yhwh hath spoken it. 9And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is Yhwh; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 6-8Verses 6-8 The kind reception of repentant sinners, is often in the New Testament likened to a feast.
