Isaiah Chapter 27 Back Next{27:1} In that day, Yahweh with his hard and great and strong sword will punish
leviathan, the fleeing serpent, and leviathan the twisted serpent; and he will kill the
dragon that is in the sea.
{27:2} In that day, sing to her, "A pleasant vineyard!
{27:3} I, Yahweh, am its keeper. I will water it every moment. Lest anyone damage it, I will keep it night and day.
{27:4} 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.
{27:5} Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me. Let him make peace with me."
{27:6} In days to come,
Jacob will take root.
Israel will blossom and bud. They will fill the surface of the world with fruit.
{27:7} Has he struck them as he struck those who struck them? Or are they killed like those who killed them were killed?
{27:8} 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.
{27:9} 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.
{27:10} 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.
{27:11} 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.
{27:12} It will happen in that day, that Yahweh will thresh from the flowing stream of the
Euphrates to the
brook of Egypt; and you will be gathered one by one, children of Israel.
{27:13} 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 Yahweh in the holy mountain at
Jerusalem.
