Isaiah 25:11

Praise to the Victorious God

10For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain. But Moab will be trampled in his place as straw is trodden into the dung pile. 11He will spread out his hands within it, as a swimmer spreads his arms to swim. His pride will be brought low, despite the skill of his hands. 12The high-walled fortress will be brought down, cast to the ground, into the dust.
