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.

Yeshayah (Isaiah) 27
27
1In that day יהוה with His severe sword, great and strong, punishes Liwiathan the fleeing serpent, Liwiathan that twisted serpent. And He shall kill the monster that is in the sea.
2In that day sing to her, “A vineyard of red wine!
3“I, יהוה, do guard it, I water it every moment; lest any hurt it, I guard it night and day.
4“Wrath is not in Me. Who would set thornbushes and weeds against Me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
5“Or let him take hold of My strength and make peace with Me. Let him make peace with Me!”
6Those who come He causes to take root in Ya‛aqoḇ, Yisra’ĕl shall blossom and bud. And they shall fill the face of the world with fruit.
7Has He smitten him as he struck the ones who were striking him? Or as a killer – was he killed as he was killing?
8In measure, by sending her away, You contended with her. He shall take away by His rough wind in the day of the east wind.
9Therefore by this the crookedness of Ya‛aqoḇ is covered. And this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: when he makes all the stones of the slaughter-place like chalkstones that are beaten to dust – Ashĕrim and sun-pillars rise no more.
10For the city of defence is lonely, a home forsaken and left like a wilderness – there the calf feeds, and there it lies down, and shall consume its branches.
11When its twigs are dry, they are broken off, women come and set them on fire. For it is a people of no understanding, therefore He who made them has no compassion on them, and He who formed them shows them no favour.
12And in that day it shall be that יהוה threshes, from the channel of the River to the wadi of Mitsrayim. And you shall be gathered one by one,#See Jer. 3:14, 15 O children of Yisra’ĕl.
13And in that day it shall be that a great shophar is blown, and those who were perishing in the land of Ashshur and the outcasts in the land of Mitsrayim shall come, and shall worship יהוה on the set-apart mountain, in Yerushalayim.
