2 Kings 18:3-7a; 2 Chronicles 29:2; 2 Kings 20:20-21; 2 Chronicles 32:32-33; Isaiah 24:1-27:13

...he will swallow up death forever. The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove the disgrace of his people from all the earth. (Psalm 25:8)

Saint Paul echoes one theme of this psalm at First Corinthians 15:54.

Saint John echoes another theme of this psalm at Revelation 7:17 and Revelation 21:4
