Isaiah 27

God’s Blessings for Israel
1On that day the Lord will punish #27:1 Or sea monsterLeviathan the fleeing serpent,
With His fierce and great and mighty sword,
Even #27:1 Or sea monsterLeviathan the twisted serpent;
And He will kill the dragon who lives in the sea.
2¶On that day,
“A #27:2 Some mss a vineyard of winevineyard of beauty, sing of it!
3“I, the Lord, am its keeper;
I water it every moment.
So that no one will #27:3 Lit punishdamage it,
I guard it night and day.
4“I have no wrath.
Should #27:4 Lit whosomeone give Me briars and thorns in battle,
Then I would step on them, I would burn them #27:4 Lit altogethercompletely.
5“Or let him #27:5 Lit take hold ofrely on My protection,
Let him make peace with Me,
Let him make peace with Me.”
6 # 27:6 Lit Those coming In the days to come Jacob will take root,
Israel will blossom and sprout,
And they will fill the #27:6 Lit face of the worldwhole world with fruit.
7¶Like the striking of Him who has struck them, has He struck them?
Or like the slaughter of His slain, #27:7 Lit he was slainhave they been slain?
8You contended with them #27:8 Some ancient versions by exact measureby banishing them, by driving them away.
With His fierce wind He has expelled them on the day of the east wind.
9Therefore through this Jacob’s wrongdoing will be forgiven;
And this will be #27:9 Lit all the fruitthe full price of the #27:9 Lit removingpardoning of his sin:
When he makes all the altar stones like pulverized chalk stones;
When #27:9 I.e., wooden symbols of a female deity (Asherah)Asherim and incense altars will not stand.
10For the fortified city is isolated,
A #27:10 Lit pasturehomestead deserted and abandoned like the desert;
There the calf will graze,
And there it will lie down and #27:10 Lit consumefeed on its branches.
11When its limbs are dry, they are broken off;
Women come and make a fire with them,
For they are not a people of discernment,
Therefore their Maker will not have compassion on them.
And their Creator will not be gracious to them.
12On that day the Lord will thresh from the flowing stream of the Euphrates River to the brook of Egypt, and you will be gathered up one by one, you sons of Israel. 13It will come about also on that day that a great trumpet will be blown, and those who were perishing in the land of Assyria and who were scattered in the land of Egypt will come and worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.

Isaiah 27
27
1In that day, Yahweh with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan, the fleeing serpent, and leviathan, the twisted serpent; and he will kill the dragon that is in the sea.
2In that day, sing to her, “A pleasant vineyard! 3I, Yahweh, am its keeper. I will water it every moment. Lest anyone damage it, I will keep it night and day. 4Wrath is not in me, but if I should find briers and thorns, I would do battle! I would march on them and I would burn them together. 5Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me. Let him make peace with me.”
6In days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will blossom and bud. They will fill the surface of the world with fruit. 7Has he struck them as he struck those who struck them? Or are they killed like those who killed them were killed? 8In measure, when you send them away, you contend with them. He has removed them with his rough blast in the day of the east wind. 9Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be forgiven, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he makes all the stones of the altar as chalk stones that are beaten in pieces, so that the Asherah poles and the incense altars shall rise no more. 10For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness. The calf will feed there, and there he will lie down, and consume its branches. 11When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off. The women will come and set them on fire, for they are a people of no understanding. Therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them, and he who formed them will show them no favor.
12It will happen in that day that Yahweh will thresh from the flowing stream of the Euphrates to the brook of Egypt; and you will be gathered one by one, children of Israel.
13It will happen in that day that a great trumpet will be blown; and those who were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and those who were outcasts in the land of Egypt, shall come; and they will worship Yahweh in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
