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
Israel Rescued
1On that day, Yahweh will punish with his cruel, great and strong sword Leviathan, the fleeing serpent, and Leviathan, the twisting serpent, and he will kill the sea monster that is in the sea.
2On that day:
“A vineyard of beauty! Sing in praise of it!
3I, Yahweh, am her keeper; I water it again and again.#Literally “by moments”
Lest one afflict harm on it, I guard it night and day;
4I have no wrath.#Literally “There is no wrath for me”
Whatever gives me thorns and briers,
I will step forth against in battle.
I will set it on fire altogether.
5Or let it grasp at my protection;
let it make peace with me;
peace let it make with me.”
6Days are coming,#Literally “The coming ones” let Jacob take root;
Israel will blossom and send out shoots,
and they will fill the face of the world with fruit.
7Does he strike him as he struck down those who struck him?#Literally “like the striking of one striking him”
Or is he killed as those who killed him were killed?#Literally “like the killing of his killed ones”
8By expelling#Meaning uncertain, derived from the following parallel expression her, by her sending away, you argue with her.
He removed them with his strong wind,
in the day of the east wind.
9Therefore by this he will make atonement for the guilt of Jacob,
and this will be all of the fruit of the removal of his sin:
when he makes#Literally “in his setting” all the stones of the altar like crushed stones of chalk,
no poles of Asherah worship or incense altars will stand.
10For the fortified city is solitary,
a settlement deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness;
the calf grazes there,
lies down there and destroys its branches.
11When its branches are dry,#Literally “In her branch being dry” they are broken;
women are coming and setting light to it.
For it is not a people of understanding;
therefore his maker will not have compassion on him,
and his creator will not show him favor.
12And this shall happen:
on that day, Yahweh will thresh from the floodwaters of the Euphrates to the wadi#A seasonal stream that is often dry of Egypt, and as for you, you will be gathered one by one, sons of Israel.
13And this shall happen:
on that day, a great trumpet will be blown,
and those who were lost in the land of Assyria will come,
and those who were scattered in the land of Egypt,
and they will bow down to Yahweh on the holy mountain#Literally “mountain of holiness” at Jerusalem.
