Yesha 'yahu (Isa) 27
27
1On that day Adonai,
with his great, strong, relentless sword,
will punish Livyatan the fleeing serpent,
the twisting serpent Livyatan;
he will slay the sea monster.
2On that day, a pleasant vineyard —
sing about it!
3“I, Adonai, guard it.
Moment to moment I water it.
So that no harm will come to it,
I guard it night and day.
4I have no anger in me.
If it gives me briars and thorns,
then, as in war, I will trample it down
and burn it up at once;
5unless it takes hold of my strength,
in order to make peace with me,
yes, to make peace with me.”
6The time is coming when Ya‘akov will take root;
Isra’el will bud and flower,
and fill the whole world with a harvest.
7[Adonai] will not strike Isra’el,
as he did others who struck Isra’el;
he will not kill them,
as he did the others.
8Your controversy with her is fully resolved
by sending her [into exile].
He removes her with a rough gust of wind
on a day when it’s blowing from the east.
9So the iniquity of Ya‘akov is atoned for by this,
and removing his sin produces this result:
he chops up all the altar stones like chalk —
sacred poles and sun-pillars stand no more.
10For the fortified city is alone,
abandoned and deserted, like the desert.
Calves graze and lie down there,
stripping its branches bare.
11When its harvest dries up, it is broken off;
women come and set it on fire.
For this is a people without understanding.
Therefore he who made them will not pity them,
he who formed them will show them no mercy.
12On that day Adonai will beat out the grain
between the Euphrates River and the Vadi of Egypt;
and you will be gathered, one by one,
people of Isra’el!
13On that day a great shofar will sound.
Those lost in the land of Ashur will come,
also those scattered through the land of Egypt;
and they will worship Adonai
on the holy mountain in Yerushalayim.

Leviathan Slain
1On that day the Lord with his relentless, large, strong sword will bring judgment on Leviathan,#Jb 3:8; 41:1,34; Ps 74:14; 104:26 the fleeing serpent — Leviathan, the twisting serpent. He will slay the monster that is in the sea.#Is 51:9
The Lord’s Vineyard
2On that day
sing about a desirable vineyard:#Ps 80:8; Is 5:7; Jr 2:21
3I am the Lord, who watches over it
to water it regularly.
So that no one disturbs it,
I watch over it night and day.
4I am not angry.
If only there were thorns and briers#2Sm 23:6; Is 10:17 for me to battle,
I would trample them
and burn them to the ground.
5Or let it take hold of my strength;
let it make peace with me —
make peace with me.
6In days to come, Jacob will take root.#Is 37:31
Israel will blossom and bloom#Is 35:1–2; Hs 14:5–6
and fill the whole world with fruit.
7Did the Lord strike Israel
as he struck the one who struck Israel?#Is 10:12,17; 30:31–33; 31:8–9; 37:36–38
Was Israel killed like those killed by the Lord?
8You disputed with Israel
by banishing and driving her away.#27:8 Hb obscure
He removed her with his severe storm
on the day of the east wind.
9Therefore Jacob’s iniquity#Is 13:11 will be atoned for in this way,
and the result of the removal of his sin will be this:#Rm 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 will be desolate,
pastures deserted and abandoned like a wilderness.
Calves will graze there,
and there they will spread out and strip its branches.
11When its branches dry out, they will be broken off.
Women will come and make fires with them,
for they are not a people with understanding.#Ps 32:9; 49:20; Jr 4:22
Therefore their Maker#Jb 4:17; Ps 95:6; Pr 14:31; Is 17:7; 29:16; 44:2; 45:9,11; 51:13; 54:5; Hs 8:14 will not have compassion on them,
and their Creator will not be gracious to them.
12On that day#Is 3:18; 7:18,20; 11:11; 24:21; Zch 12:8
the Lord will thresh grain from the Euphrates River
as far as the Wadi of Egypt,#Gn 15:18
and you Israelites will be gathered one by one.
13On that day
a great ram’s horn#Lv 25:9; 1Ch 15:24; Mt 24:31; 1Th 4:16; Rv 11:15 will be blown,
and those lost in the land of Assyria will come,
as well as those dispersed in the land of Egypt;
and they will worship the Lord
at Jerusalem on the holy mountain.
