Isaiah 27
1 In that day, Jehovah with his fierce and great and mighty sword will punish leviathan, the fleeing serpent, and leviathan the twisted serpent; and he will kill the serpent that is in the sea.
In that day Yhwh with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
2 In that day, sing to her, "A pleasant vineyard.
In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.
3 I, Jehovah, am its keeper. I will water it every moment. Lest anyone damage it, I will keep it night and day.
I Yhwh do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
4 Wrath is not in me, but if I should find briers and thorns, I would do battle. I would march on them and I would burn them together.
Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
5 Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me. Let him make peace with me."
Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.
6 In days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will blossom and bud. They will fill the surface of the world with fruit.
He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
7 Has he struck them as he struck those who struck them? Or have they been killed as their killers were killed?
Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
8 In measure, when you send them away, you contend with them. He has removed them with his rough blast in the day of the east wind.
In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
9 Therefore, by this the iniquity of Jacob will be forgiven, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he makes all the stones of the altar as chalk stones that are beaten in pieces, so that the Asherim and the incense altars shall rise no more.
By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.
10 For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness. The calf will feed there, and there he will lie down, and consume its branches.
Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
11 When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off. The women will come and set them on fire, for they are a people of no understanding. Therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them, and he who formed them will show them no favor.
When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.
12 It will happen in that day, that Jehovah will thresh from the flowing stream of the Perath to the Wadi of Egypt; and you will be gathered one by one, children of Israel.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that Yhwh shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
13 It will happen in that day that a great trumpet will be blown; and those who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and those who were outcasts in the land of Egypt, shall come; and they will worship Jehovah in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship Yhwh in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
