Isaiah 27
27
Leviathan the Dragon
1In that day Adonai will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent with His fierce, great, strong sword, Leviathan the twisted serpent! He will slay the dragon in the sea.
Second Song of the Vineyard
2“In that day sing to her, ‘A vineyard of delight!’
3I, Adonai, watch over it, I water it every moment. I guard it day and night, so that no one may harm it.
4It is not that I have wrath. Who would give me thorns and thistles? Into battle I would march against them! I would burn them up altogether!
5Rather let them rely on My strength. Let them make peace with Me— make peace with Me.”
Israel Will Blossom Again
6In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will blossom and bud and fill the face of the world with fruit.
7Did He strike Israel as He struck those who struck them? Or were they slain as their slayers were slain?
8You contended with her by banishing her, by driving her away. With His fierce wind He expelled them on the day of the east wind.
9So by this will Jacob’s sin be atoned and this the full price to remove his sin: When he makes all the altar stones like shattered chalk stones, so that the Asherah poles and incense rise no more.
10The fortified city is a lonely habitation, forlorn and forsaken like the desert. There the calf will graze, there lie down and consume its branches.
11When the boughs are withered, they will be broken off. Women come and set them on fire, for it is a people of no understanding. Therefore their Maker will show them no mercy—He who formed them will give them no grace.
12It will come about in that day, Adonai will thresh from the channel of the River to the Wadi of Egypt, and you will be gathered one by one, Bnei-Yisrael.
13It will also come about in that day, a great shofar will be blown. Those perishing in the land of Assyria and the exiles in the land of Egypt will come and worship Adonai on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.

Isaiah 27
27
Chapter 27
1At that time, the Lord will punish Leviathan. The Lord will use his great and powerful sword to destroy that monster. Leviathan is a snake that moves very fast in the sea and it turns in every direction. But the Lord will kill it.
God will take care of his people
2At that time, sing a song about a beautiful vineyard!
3I, the Lord, keep it safe. I will continue to put water on it. I will guard it night and day, so that nobody can hurt it.
4I am not angry now. If there were thorn bushes or weeds in my vineyard, I would attack them. I would burn them all. 5But my enemies should turn to me for help. They should agree to live in peace with me. Yes, that is what they should do.
6The time will come when Jacob will grow well, like a strong plant in the ground. Yes, Israel will make flowers and branches. Their fruit will fill all the world.
7The Lord did not punish Israel's people as much as he punished their enemies. He did not kill them as much as he killed their enemies. 8But Lord you sent your people to a land far away. That is how you punished them. You blew them away with a storm that came from the east. 9In that way the Lord punished Jacob's descendants for their sins. They are no longer guilty. This will be the result when God has taken away Jacob's sin completely: All the stones in their altars will become small pieces of chalk. There will be no Asherah pole or altars for incense that continue to stand.
10The strong city will become empty. Nobody will live there any more. It will be like an empty desert. Young cows will eat the grass there, and they will lie down there. They will eat all the leaves on the branches of the tree. 11When the branches become dry, they break off the tree. Women will take the sticks and they will make fires with them. That is what these people are like. They do not understand anything. So their Maker will not help them or be kind to them.
12At that time, the Lord will shake the tree! He will do that to his people everywhere from the River Euphrates to the Stream of Egypt. #27:12 The River Euphrates and the Stream of Egypt were the borders of Israel in the north and in the south. Then he will bring together all of you, one by one, you Israelite people.
13At that time, they will hear the sound of a loud trumpet. Then people who were dying in exile in Assyria will come. People who went away into Egypt will also come. They will worship the Lord on his holy hill in Jerusalem. #27:13 ‘his holy hill’ is Mount Zion.
