Isaiah 27

27
Yahweh Will Deliver Israel
1In that day Yahweh will #27:1 Or visit, cf. 26:14, 16, 21punish #27:1 Or the sea monsterLeviathan the fleeing serpent,
With His fierce and great and #27:1 Lit strongmighty sword,
Even #27:1 Or the sea monsterLeviathan the twisted serpent;
And He will kill the dragon who lives in the sea.
2¶In that day,
“A #27:2 Some mss vineyard of winevineyard of delight, sing of it!
3“I, Yahweh, am its keeper;
I water it every moment.
Lest anyone #27:3 Lit punishdamage it,
I keep it night and day.
4“I have no wrath.
Who would ever give Me briars and thorns in the battle?
I would step on them, I would burn them #27:4 Lit altogethercompletely.
5“Or let him #27:5 Lit take hold ofrely on My strong defense,
Let him make peace with Me,
Let him make peace with Me.”
6 # 27:6 Lit Those coming In the days to come Jacob will take root,
Israel will blossom and bud,
And they will fill the #27:6 Lit face ofwhole world with produce.
7¶Like the striking of Him who has struck them, has He struck them?
Or like the slaughter of those of His who were killed, #27:7 Lit he was slainhave they been killed?
8You contended with them #27:8 Some ancient versions by exact measureby driving them away, by making them forlorn.
With His fierce wind He has expelled them on the day of the east wind.
9Therefore through this, Jacob’s iniquity will be atoned for;
And this will be the whole fruit of the turning away of his sin:
When he makes all the altar stones like pulverized chalk stones,
When #27:9 Wooden symbols of a female deityAsherim and incense altars will not stand.
10For the fortified city is isolated,
A #27:10 Lit pasturehaunt #27:10 Lit sent awayforlorn and forsaken like the desert;
There the calf will graze,
And there it will lie down and #27:10 Lit consumefeed on its twigs.
11When its limbs are dry, they are broken off;
Women come and light a fire with them,
For they are not a people of discernment,
Therefore their Maker will not have compassion on them.
And their Creator will not be gracious to them.
12And it will be in that day, that Yahweh will start His threshing from the flowing stream of the #27:12 The Euphrates RiverRiver to the brook of Egypt, and you will be gathered up one by one, O sons of Israel. 13And it will be in that day, that a great trumpet will be blown, and those who were perishing in the land of Assyria and who were banished in the land of Egypt will come and worship Yahweh in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
