Isaiah 26:20–27:5

Take Refuge from the Coming Judgment

20 Come, my people, venter your chambers,

And shut your doors behind you;

Hide yourself, as it were, wfor a little moment,

Until the indignation is past.

21 For behold, the Lord xcomes out of His place

To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;

The earth will also disclose her 3blood,

And will no more cover her slain.

27 In that day the Lord with His severe sword, great and strong,

Will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent,

aLeviathan that twisted serpent;

And He will slay bthe reptile that is in the sea.

The Restoration of Israel

2 In that day csing to her,

d“A vineyard of 1red wine!

3 eI, the Lord, keep it,

I water it every moment;

Lest any hurt it,

I keep it night and day.

4 Fury is not in Me.

Who would set fbriers and thorns

Against Me in battle?

I would go through them,

I would burn them together.

5 Or let him take hold gof My strength,

That he may hmake peace with Me;

And he shall make peace with Me.”
