27 On that day the Lord with his relentless, large, strong sword will bring judgment on Leviathan,q the fleeing serpent—Leviathan, the twisting serpent. He will slay the monster that is in the sea.r
2 On that day
sing about a desirable vineyard:a
3 I am the Lord, who watches over it
to water it regularly.
So that no one disturbs it,
I watch over it night and day.
If only there were thorns and briersb for me to battle,
I would trample them
and burn them to the ground.
5 Or let it take hold of my strength;
let it make peace with me—
make peace with me.
6 In days to come, Jacob will take root.c
Israel will blossom and bloomd
and fill the whole world with fruit.
as he struck the one who struck Israel?e
Was Israel killed like those killed by the Lord?
by banishing and driving her away.A
He removed her with his severe storm
on the day of the east wind.
9 Therefore Jacob’s iniquityf will be atoned for in this way,
and the result of the removal of his sin will be this:g
when he makes all the altar stones
like crushed bits of chalk,
no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
10 For the fortified city will be desolate,
pastures deserted and abandoned like a wilderness.
Calves will graze there,
and there they will spread out and strip its branches.
11 When its branches dry out, they will be broken off.
Women will come and make fires with them,
for they are not a people with understanding.h
Therefore their Makeri will not have compassion on them,
and their Creator will not be gracious to them.
12 On that dayj
the Lord will thresh grain from the Euphrates River
as far as the Wadi of Egypt,k
and you Israelites will be gathered one by one.
a great trumpetl will be blown,
and those lost in the land of Assyria will come,
as well as those dispersed in the land of Egypt;
and they will worship the Lord
at Jerusalem on the holy mountain.

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
