Isaiah 25:6-9

6 1On this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wine, 2of rich food full of marrow, of aged wine well refined.
7 And he will swallow up 3on this mountain the covering that is cast over all peoples, 4the veil that is spread over all nations.
8 5He will swallow up death forever; and 6the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces, and 7the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, 8for the LORD has spoken.
9 It will be said on that day, "Behold, this is our God; 9we have waited for him, that he might save us. This is the LORD; we have waited for him; 10let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation."
