Isa 25:3Therefore shall the poor people bless thee, and cities of injured men shall bless thee.

Isa 25:10God will give rest on this mountain, and the country of Moab shall be trodden down, as they tread the floor with waggons.
Isa 25:11And he shall spread forth his hands, even as he also brings down man to destroy him: and he shall bring low his pride in regard to the thing on which he has laid his hands.
