Isaiah 27
27
1At that time the Lord will take his sharp, large, and strong sword, and punish Leviathan, the slithering serpent, and Leviathan, the coiled serpent, and he will kill the sea dragon.#27:1. Leviathan and the sea dragon come from pagan mythology, and are personifications of evil.
2At that time, sing about a beautiful vineyard. 3I, the Lord, take care of it, watering it often. I guard it night and day so that nobody can damage it. 4I'm not angry anymore.#27:4. “Not angry anymore”: unlike the Lord's anger with his vineyard recorded in chapter 5. If there are thorns and brambles I would go and fight them, burning them all up, 5Otherwise they should come to me for protection. They should make their peace with me, yes, make their peace with me.
6In the future the descendants of Jacob will be like a tree taking root. Israel will flower and send out shoots, and fill the whole world with fruit! 7Has the Lord hit Israel as he hit those that attacked them? Were they killed like their killers were killed?#27:7. The implied answer is “No.” 8You dealt with them by sending them into exile, by banishing them. He drove them away with his powerful force, like when the east wind blows. 9Through this experience Jacob's guilt will be forgiven. The removal of their sins will come to fruition when they take all the pagan altar stones and crush them to pieces like chalk—no Asherah poles or altars of incense will be left standing.
10The fortified city will be abandoned, its houses as empty and lonely as a desert. Cattle will graze and rest there, stripping bare the branches of its trees. 11Their dry branches are broken off and used by women to make fires. This is a people that doesn't have any sense, so their Maker won't feel sorry for them, and their Creator won't help them.
12At that time the Lord will thresh the grain harvested from the Euphrates River to the Wadi of Egypt, and you Israelites will be gathered up one by one. 13At that time a loud trumpet will sound, and those who were dying in Assyria will return along with those exiled in Egypt. They will come and worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.

Isaiah 27
27
The Deliverance of Israel
1#Ps 104:26; Isa 51:9In that day
the Lord with His fierce and great
and strong sword shall punish
Leviathan the fleeing serpent,
even Leviathan the twisted serpent;
and He shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
2#Jer 2:21In that day:
Sing of it! A vineyard of red wine.
3#Isa 58:11; 1Sa 2:9 I, the Lord, am its keeper;
I water it every moment;
lest anyone damage it,
I protect it night and day.
4#Isa 10:17; Mt 3:12 I have no fury.
Should someone give Me briers and thorns in battle,
then I would step on them,
I would burn them fully.
5#Job 22:21; Isa 25:4 Or let him rely on My strength;
let him make peace with Me;
let him make peace with Me.
6#Isa 37:31; Hos 14:5–6 In the days to come Jacob shall take root;
Israel shall blossom and bud
and shall fill the whole world with fruit.
7#Isa 37:36–38 Has He struck them,
as He struck those who struck them?
Or like the slaughter of His slain,
have they been slain?
8#Jer 4:11; 10:24 You fought with them by banishing them, by driving them away.
He has expelled them
on the day of the east wind with His fierce wind.
9#Isa 17:8; 48:10 Through this, therefore, the iniquity of Jacob shall be forgiven,
and this will be the full price of the removal of his sin:
when he makes all the stones of the altar
as chalkstones that are pulverized,
when the groves and incense altars
shall not stand.
10#Isa 17:2; 17:9 For the fortified city shall be desolate,
a homestead forlorn and forsaken like a wilderness;
there the calf shall graze,
and there it shall lie down
and eat its branches.
11#Isa 1:3; 43:1 When its boughs are withered, they are broken off;
the women come and make a fire with them,
for they are not a people of understanding;
therefore, their Maker will not have mercy on them,
and their Creator will show them no grace.
12#Ge 15:18; Dt 30:3–4In that day the Lord shall thresh from the channel of the River#Euphrates River. to the stream of Egypt, and you shall be gathered one by one, O sons of Israel. 13#Lev 25:9; Mt 24:31And in that day the great trumpet shall be blown, and those who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria and the outcasts in the land of Egypt shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
