Isaiah 27

CHAPTER 27

Yahweh Will Deliver Israel

¹In that day ^aYahweh will ¹punish ^2bLeviathan the fleeing serpent,

With His fierce and great and ³mighty sword,

Even ⁴Leviathan the twisted serpent;

And ^cHe will kill the dragon who lives in the sea.

²In that day,

“A ^1avineyard of delight, sing of it!

³“I, Yahweh, am its keeper;

^aI water it every moment.

Lest anyone ¹damage it,

I ^bkeep it night and day.

⁴“I have no wrath.

Who would ever give Me ^abriars and thorns in the battle?

I would step on them, ^bI would burn them ¹completely.

⁵“Or let him ^1arely on My strong defense,

Let him make peace with Me,

Let him ^bmake peace with Me.”

⁶¹In the days to come Jacob ^awill take root,

Israel will ^bblossom and bud,

And they will fill the ²whole world with ^cproduce.

⁷Like the striking of Him who has struck them, has ^aHe struck them?

Or like the slaughter of those of His who were killed, ¹have they been killed?

⁸You contended with them ¹by driving them away, by ^amaking them forlorn.

With His fierce wind He has expelled them on the day of the ^beast wind.

⁹Therefore through this, Jacob’s iniquity will be ^aatoned for;

And this will be the whole fruit of the ^bturning away of his sin:

When he makes all the ^caltar stones like pulverized chalk stones,

When ¹Asherim and incense altars will not stand.

¹⁰For the fortified city is ^aisolated,

A ¹haunt ²forlorn and forsaken like the desert;

^bThere the calf will graze,

And there it will lie down and ³feed on its twigs.

¹¹When its ^alimbs are dry, they are broken off;

Women come and light a fire with them,

For they are not a people of ^bdiscernment,

Therefore ^ctheir Maker ^dwill not have compassion on them.

And their Creator will not be gracious to them.

¹²And it will be in that day, that Yahweh ^awill start His threshing from the flowing stream of the ^1bRiver to the brook of Egypt, and you will be ^cgathered up one by one, O sons of Israel.

¹³And it will be in that day, that a great ^atrumpet will be blown, and those who were perishing in the land of ^bAssyria and who were banished in the land of Egypt will come and ^cworship Yahweh in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
