Context of Isaiah 25:9
7And 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. And 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. 10For in this mountain shall the hand of Yhwh rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill. 11And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
