Summary:Biblical scholarship generally considers Is. 25:6-8 one of the most universal salvation oracles. Nevertheless, not only the old translations, but also Jewish exegetes of the Middle Ages understood it as an announcement of doom. A fresh look at the intertextuality of some of the key words, gives new credibility to this interpretation. In fact, a banquet may be occasion of judgment, oil can hint to extravagant ointment, new wine may intoxicate, the covering which is pulled away is sometimes a metaphor for military protection.
