Isaiah 27
27
1In that day the Lord with His severe sword, great and strong,
Will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent,
#Gen. 3:1; Ps. 74:13, 14; Rev. 12:9, 15Leviathan that twisted serpent;
And He will slay #Is. 51:9; Ezek. 29:3; 32:2the reptile that is in the sea.
The Restoration of Israel
2In that day #Is. 5:1sing to her,
#Ps. 80:8; Is. 5:7; Jer. 2:21“A vineyard of red wine!
3#1 Sam. 2:9; Ps. 121:4, 5; Is. 31:5; (John 10:28)I, the Lord, keep it,
I water it every moment;
Lest any hurt it,
I keep it night and day.
4Fury is not in Me.
Who would set #2 Sam. 23:6; Is. 9:18briers and thorns
Against Me in battle?
I would go through them,
I would burn them together.
5Or let him take hold #Is. 25:4of My strength,
That he may #Job 22:21; Is. 26:3, 12; (Rom. 5:1; 2 Cor. 5:20)make peace with Me;
And he shall make peace with Me.”
6Those who come He shall cause #Is. 37:31; Hos. 14:5, 6to take root in Jacob;
Israel shall blossom and bud,
And fill the face of the world with fruit.
7#Is. 10:12, 17; 30:30–33Has He struck Israel as He struck those who struck him?
Or has He been slain according to the slaughter of those who were slain by Him?
8#Job 23:6; Ps. 6:1; Jer. 10:24; 30:11; 46:28; (1 Cor. 10:13)In measure, by sending it away,
You contended with it.
#(Ps. 78:38)He removes it by His rough wind
In the day of the east wind.
9Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be covered;
And this is all the fruit of taking away his sin:
When he makes all the stones of the altar
Like chalkstones that are beaten to dust,
Wooden images and incense altars shall not stand.
10Yet the fortified city will be #Is. 5:6, 17; 32:14; Jer. 26:18desolate,
The habitation forsaken and left like a wilderness;
There the calf will feed, and there it will lie down
And consume its branches.
11When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off;
The women come and set them on fire.
For #Deut. 32:28; Is. 1:3it is a people of no understanding;
Therefore He who made them will #Is. 9:17not have mercy on them,
And #Deut. 32:18; Is. 43:1, 7; 44:2, 21, 24He who formed them will show them no favor.
12And it shall come to pass in that day
That the Lord will thresh,
From the channel of the River to the Brook of Egypt;
And you will be #(Is. 11:11; 56:8)gathered one by one,
O you children of Israel.
13#Is. 2:11So it shall be in that day:
#Lev. 25:9; 1 Chr. 15:24; Matt. 24:31; Rev. 11:15The great trumpet will be blown;
They will come, who are about to perish in the land of Assyria,
And they who are outcasts in the land of #Is. 19:21, 22Egypt,
And shall #(Is. 2:3); Zech. 14:16; (Heb. 12:22)worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

Isaiah 27
27
The Lord’s Vineyard
(John 15:1–8)
1In that day the Lord will take His sharp, great, and mighty sword, and bring judgment on Leviathan the fleeing serpent #27:1 Hebrew nachash; translated in most cases as snake; twice in this verse—Leviathan the coiling serpent—and He will slay the dragon of the sea. 2In that day:
“Sing about a fruitful vineyard.
3I, the Lord, am its keeper;
I water it continually.
I guard it night and day
so no one can disturb it;
4I am not angry.
If only thorns and briers confronted Me,
I would march and trample them,
I would burn them to the ground.
5Or let them lay claim to My protection;
let them make peace with Me—
yes, let them make peace with Me.”
6In the days to come, Jacob will take root.
Israel will bud and blossom
and fill the whole world with fruit.
7Has the Lord struck Israel as He struck her oppressors?
Was she killed like those who slayed her?
8By warfare and exile #27:8 Or By driving her away into exile or Measure by measure, by exile You contended with her
and removed her with a fierce wind,
as on the day the east wind blows.
9Therefore Jacob’s guilt will be atoned for,
and the full fruit of the removal of his sin will be this:#27:9 LXX Therefore the guilt of Jacob will be taken away, and this is his blessing when I take away his sin; cited in Romans 11:27
When he makes all the altar stones
like crushed bits of chalk,
no Asherah poles or incense altars
will remain standing.
10For the fortified city lies deserted—
a homestead abandoned, a wilderness forsaken.
There the calves graze, and there they lie down;
they strip its branches bare.
11When its limbs are dry,
they are broken off.
Women come and use them for kindling;
for this is a people without understanding.
Therefore 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 #27:12 Hebrew River to the Wadi of Egypt, and you, O Israelites, will be gathered one by one. 13And in that day a great ram’s horn will sound, and those who were perishing in Assyria will come forth with those who were exiles in Egypt. And they will worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
