Isaiah 25:8

Context

25:8 he will swallow up death permanently. 1 

The sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from every face,

and remove his people’s disgrace from all the earth.

Indeed, the Lord has announced it! 2 

1 sn The image of the Lord “swallowing” death would be especially powerful, for death was viewed in Canaanite mythology and culture as a hungry enemy that swallows its victims. See the note at 5:14.

2 tn Heb “has spoken” (so NAB, NASB, NIV, NRSV, NLT).
