On this mountain the Lord of hosts/ will provide for all peoples/ a feast of rich food and choice wines,/ juicy, rich food and pure, choice wines./ On this mountain he will destroy/ the veil that veils all peoples,/ the web that is woven over all nations;/ he will destroy death forever./ The Lord God will wipe away/ the tears from every face;/ the reproach of his people he will remove/ from the whole earth; for the Lord has spoken./ On that day it will be said:/ “Behold our God, to whom we looked to save us!/ This is the Lord for whom we looked;/ let us rejoice and be glad that he has saved us!”/ For the hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain.
