Isaiah 26:19–27:9

19  tThy dead men shall live,

Together with my dead body shall they arise.

tAwake and sing, tye that dwell in dust:

For uthy dew is as the dew of vherbs,

And the earth shall cast out ggthe dead.

20  Come, my people, wenter thou into thy chambers,

And shut thy doors about thee:

Hide thyself as it were xfor a little ymoment,

zUntil the indignation be overpast.

21  aFor, behold, the Lord cometh out of his place

To bpunish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity:

The earth also shall disclose her †blood,

And cshall no more cover her slain.

27 aIn that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword

Shall bpunish cdleviathan the ||piercing serpent,

Even cdleviathan that ecrooked serpent;

And he shall slay dthe dragon that is in the sea.

2  aIn that day fsing ye unto her,

gA vineyard of red wine.

3  hI the Lord do ikeep it;

I will water it jevery moment:

Lest any bhurt it, hI will ikeep it night and day.

4  kFury is not in me:

Who would lmset the briers and thorns against me in battle?

I would ||go through them, I would mburn them together.

5  Or let him take hold of nmy strength,

oThat he may make peace with me;

And he shall make peace with me.

6  He shall cause them that come of Jacob pto take root:

Israel shall qblossom and qbud,

And fill the face of the world with fruit.

7  Hath he smitten him, †ras he smote those that smote him?

Or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?

8  rsIn measure, ||when it shooteth forth, thou wilt tdebate with it:

||He stayeth his rough wind in the day of vthe east wind.

9  wBy this therefore shall xthe iniquity of Jacob be purged;

And this is all the fruit yto take away his sin;

When he maketh all the stones of the altar as zchalkstones that are beaten in sunder,

aThe groves and ||aimages shall not stand up.
