Isaiah 27

27In 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

²In that day ^csing to her,

^d“A vineyard of ¹red wine!

^3eI, the Lord, keep it,

I water it every moment;

Lest any hurt it,

I keep it night and day.

⁴Fury is not in Me.

Who would set ^fbriers and thorns

Against Me in battle?

I would go through them,

I would burn them together.

⁵Or let him take hold ^gof My strength,

That he may ^hmake peace with Me;

And he shall make peace with Me.”

⁶Those who come He shall cause ⁱto take root in Jacob;

Israel shall blossom and bud,

And fill the face of the world with fruit.

^7jHas He struck ²Israel as He struck those who struck him?

Or has He been slain according to the slaughter of those who were slain by Him?

^8kIn measure, by sending it away,

You contended with it.

^lHe removes it by His rough wind

In the day of the east wind.

⁹Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be covered;

And this is all the fruit of taking away his sin:

When he makes all the stones of the altar

Like chalkstones that are beaten to dust,

³Wooden images and incense altars shall not stand.

¹⁰Yet the fortified city will be ^mdesolate,

The habitation forsaken and left like a wilderness;

There the calf will feed, and there it will lie down

And consume its branches.

¹¹When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off;

The women come and set them on fire.

For ⁿit is a people of no understanding;

Therefore He who made them will ^onot have mercy on them,

And ^pHe who formed them will show them no favor.

¹²And it shall come to pass in that day

That the Lord will thresh,

From the channel of ⁴the River to the Brook of Egypt;

And you will be ^qgathered one by one,

O you children of Israel.

^13rSo it shall be in that day:

^sThe great trumpet will be blown;

They will come, who are about to perish in the land of Assyria,

And they who are outcasts in the land of ^tEgypt,

And shall ^uworship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
