truth.

nations shall fear thee.

his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of
the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.

place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones
shall be brought low.

feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow,
of wines on the lees well refined.

all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations.

tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from
off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.

for him, and he will save us: this is the Lord; we have waited for him, we will
be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.

swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride
together with the spoils of their hands.
Is 25:12 And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay
low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
