Isaiah 27
27
The Deliverance of Israel
1In that day
the Lord with His fierce and great
and strong sword shall punish
Leviathan the fleeing serpent,
even Leviathan the twisted serpent; # Job 41; Ps 74:13–14; 104:26; Isa 51:9
and He shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
2In that day:
Sing of it! A vineyard of red wine. # Jer 2:21
3I, the Lord, am its keeper;
I water it every moment; # Isa 58:11
lest anyone damage it,
I protect it night and day.
4I have no fury.
Should someone give Me briers and thorns in battle,
then I would step on them,
I would burn them fully. # Isa 10:17; Mt 3:12
5Or let him rely on My strength; # Isa 25:4
let him make peace with Me;
let him make peace with Me. # Job 22:21
6In the days to come Jacob shall take root;
Israel shall blossom and bud
and shall fill the whole world with fruit. # Isa 37:31; Hos 14:5–6
7Has He struck them,
as He struck those who struck them?
Or like the slaughter of His slain,
have they been slain? # Isa 37:36–38
8You fought with them by banishing them, by driving them away. # Jer 10:24
He has expelled them
on the day of the east wind with His fierce wind. # Jer 4:11
9Through this, therefore, the iniquity of Jacob shall be forgiven,
and this will be the full price of the removal of his sin:
when he makes all the stones of the altar
as chalkstones that are pulverized,
when the groves and incense altars # Isa 17:8
shall not stand.
10For the fortified city shall be desolate, # Isa 17:2, 9
a homestead forlorn and forsaken like a wilderness;
there the calf shall graze,
and there it shall lie down
and eat its branches.
11When its boughs are withered, they are broken off;
the women come and make a fire with them,
for they are not a people of understanding; # Isa 1:3
therefore, their maker will not have mercy on them,
and their Creator will show them no grace. # Isa 43:1
12In that day the Lord shall thresh from the channel of the Euphrates River to the stream of Egypt, # Ge 15:18 and you shall be gathered one by one, # Dt 30:3–4 O sons of Israel. 13And in that day the great trumpet shall be blown, # Lev 25:9; Mt 24:31 and those who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria and the outcasts in the land of Egypt shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

Isaiah 27
27
The LORD’s People Will Worship on His Holy Mountain
1On that day the Lord will use his fierce and powerful sword
to punish Leviathan, that slippery snake,
Leviathan, that twisting snake.
He will kill that monster which lives in the sea.
2On that day sing about a delightful vineyard.
3I, the Lord, watch over it.
I water it continually.
I watch over it day and night
so that no one will harm it.
4I am no longer angry.
If only thorns and briars would confront me!
I would fight them in battle and set all of them on fire.
5Or else let them come to me for protection.
Let them make peace with me.
Yes, let them make peace with me.
6In times to come Jacob will take root.
Israel will blossom, bud,
and fill the whole world with fruit.
7Will the Lord hurt Israel as he hurt others who hurt them?
Will he kill them as he killed others?
8He punished Israel by sending it away.
He removed it with a fierce blast from the east winds.
9In this way the wrongdoings of the descendants of Jacob are covered up.
This is the way they will turn from their sins—
when they turn all the altar stones into powdered chalk
and no poles dedicated to the goddess Asherah
or incense altars are left standing.
10The fortified city is isolated.
The homestead is left deserted, abandoned like the desert.
Calves will graze there.
They will lie down.
They will feed on the branches.
11When the branches are dried up,
they will be broken off.
Women will come and build a fire with them.
These people don’t understand ⌞these things⌟.
That is why their maker won’t have compassion on them,
and their Creator won’t have pity on them.
12On that day the Lord will begin his threshing #27:12 Threshing is the process of beating stalks to separate them from the grain.
from the flowing stream of the Euphrates River
to the brook of Egypt.
People of Israel, you will be gathered one by one.
13On that day a ram’s horn will be blown loudly.
Those who are dying in Assyria
and those who are banished to Egypt
will come and worship the Lord
on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
