Isaias (Isaiah) 27
27
1IN that day, the Lord with his hard and great and strong sword shall visit leviathan the bar serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent: and shall slay the whale that is in the sea.
2In that day, there shall be singing to the vineyard of pure wine.
3I am the Lord that keep it, I will suddenly give it drink: lest any hurt come to it, I keep it night and day.
4There is no indignation in me. Who shall make me a thorn and a brier in battle? Shall I march against it? Shall I set it on fire together?
5Or rather shall it take hold of my strength? Shall it make peace with me? Shall it make peace with me?
6When they shall rush in unto Jacob, Israel shall blossom and bud: and they shall fill the face of the world with seed.
7Hath he struck him according to the stroke of him that struck him? Or is he slain, as he killed them that were slain by him?
8In measure against measure, when it shall be cast off, thou shalt judge it. He hath meditated with his severe spirit in the day of heat.
9Therefore upon this shall the iniquity of the house of Jacob be forgiven: and this is all the fruit, that the sin thereof should be taken away, when he shall have made all the stones of the altar as burnt stones broken in pieces. The groves and temples shall not stand.
10For the strong city shall be desolate: the beautiful city shall be forsaken and shall be left as a wilderness. There the calf shall feed: and there shall he lie down and shall consume its branches.
11Its harvest shall be destroyed with drought, women shall come and teach it: for it is not a wise people. Therefore he that made it shall not have mercy on it: and he that formed it shall not spare it.
12And it shall come to pass that in that day the Lord will strike from the channel of the river even to the torrent of Egypt: and you shall be gathered together one by one, O ye children of Israel.
13And it shall come to pass that in that day a noise shall be made with a great trumpet: and they that were lost shall come from the land of the Assyrians, and they that were outcasts in the land of Egypt. And they shall adore the Lord in the holy mount in Jerusalem.

Isaiah 27
27
Deliverance of Israel
1In that day,
the Lord will punish with his sword—
his fierce, great and powerful sword—
Leviathan the gliding serpent,
Leviathan the coiling serpent;
he will slay the monster of the sea.
2In that day—
“Sing about a fruitful vineyard:
3I, the Lord, watch over it;
I water it continually.
I guard it day and night
so that no one may harm it.
4I am not angry.
If only there were briers and thorns confronting me!
I would march against them in battle;
I would set them all on fire.
5Or else let them come to me for refuge;
let them make peace with me,
yes, let them make peace with me.”
6In days to come Jacob will take root,
Israel will bud and blossom
and fill all the world with fruit.
7Has the Lord struck her
as he struck down those who struck her?
Has she been killed
as those were killed who killed her?
8By warfare#27:8 See Septuagint; the meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain. and exile you contend with her—
with his fierce blast he drives her out,
as on a day the east wind blows.
9By this, then, will Jacob’s guilt be atoned for,
and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin:
When he makes all the altar stones
to be like limestone crushed to pieces,
no Asherah poles#27:9 That is, wooden symbols of the goddess Asherah or incense altars
will be left standing.
10The fortified city stands desolate,
an abandoned settlement, forsaken like the wilderness;
there the calves graze,
there they lie down;
they strip its branches bare.
11When its twigs are dry, they are broken off
and women come and make fires with them.
For this is a people without understanding;
so their Maker has no compassion on them,
and their Creator shows them no favor.
12In that day the Lord will thresh from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt, and you, Israel, will be gathered up one by one. 13And in that day a great trumpet will sound. Those who were perishing in Assyria and those who were exiled in Egypt will come and worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
