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.

Isaiah 27
27
The Deliverance of Israel
1In that day the Lord will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent
With His fierce and great and mighty sword [rescuing Israel from her enemy],
Even Leviathan the twisted serpent;
And He will kill the dragon who lives in the sea.
2In that day [it will be said of the redeemed nation of Israel],
“A vineyard of #So DSS; MT reads beauty.wine, sing in praise of it!
3I, the Lord, am its Keeper;
I water it every moment.
So that no one will harm it,
I guard it night and day.
4I have no wrath.
Should anyone give Me briars and thorns in battle,
I would step on them, I would set them all on fire.
5Or let him (Israel) cling to My strength and rely on My protection [My stronghold],
Let him make peace with Me,
Let him make peace with Me.”
6 # Lit Those coming, Jacob. In the generations to come Jacob will take root;
Israel will blossom and sprout,
And they will fill the surface of the world with fruit.
7Like the striking #Or of him, referring to an enemy of Israel.by Him who has struck them, has He struck them?
Or like the slaughter of His slain, have they been slain?
8You contended with them by exile, by driving them away [from Canaan];
He has expelled them with His fierce wind on the day of the east wind.
9Therefore through this the wickedness [the sin, the injustice, the wrongdoing] of Jacob (Israel) will be atoned for and forgiven;
And this will be #Lit all the fruit.the full price [that God requires] for taking away his sin:
When Israel makes all the stones of the [pagan] altars like crushed chalk stones;
When the Asherim and the incense altars will not stand.
10For the fortified city is isolated,
A settlement deserted and abandoned like the desert;
There the calf will graze,
And there it will lie down and #Lit consume.feed on its branches.
11When its branches are dry, they are broken off;
The women come and #Lit set light to.make a fire with them.
For they are not a people of understanding,
Therefore He who made them will not have compassion on them,
And He who created them will not be gracious to them.
12In that day the Lord will thresh [out His grain] from the flowing stream of the River [Euphrates] to the Brook of Egypt, and you will be gathered up one by one, O sons of Israel. 13It will come to pass in that day that a great trumpet will be blown, and those who were lost and 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 at Jerusalem.
