Isaiah 27
27
The Redemption of Israel
1In that day the Lord with his hard and great and strong #[Jer. 47:6] sword will punish #Ps. 74:14 Leviathan the fleeing serpent, #Ps. 74:14 Leviathan the twisting serpent, and he will slay #ch. 51:9; Ezek. 29:3the dragon that is in the sea.
2In that day,
# ch. 5:7 “A pleasant vineyard,#27:2 Many Hebrew manuscripts A vineyard of wine #[ch. 26:1]sing of it!
3I, the Lord, am its keeper;
every moment I water it.
Lest anyone punish it,
I keep it night and day;
4I have no wrath.
# [ch. 10:17] Would that I had thorns and briers to battle!
I would march against them,
I would burn them up together.
5Or let them lay hold of my protection,
let them make peace with me,
let them make peace with me.”
6 # ch. 37:31; Hos. 14:5, 6 In days to come#27:6 Hebrew In those to come Jacob shall take root,
Israel shall blossom and put forth shoots
and fill the whole world with fruit.
7 #
Hos. 6:1, 2 Has he struck them #See ch. 37:36-38 as he struck those who struck them?
Or have they been slain #ch. 37:18, 19as their slayers were slain?
8 # [Jer. 10:24] Measure by measure,#27:8 Or By driving her away; the meaning of the Hebrew word is uncertain by exile you contended with them;
# [Jer. 18:17] he removed them with his fierce breath#27:8 Or wind in the day of the east wind.
9Therefore by this #[ch. 22:14] the guilt of Jacob will be atoned for,
and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin:#27:9 Septuagint and this is the blessing when I take away his sin
# [2 Kgs. 18:4] when he makes all the stones of the altars
like chalkstones crushed to pieces,
no #See Deut. 16:21Asherim or incense altars will remain standing.
10 # ch. 17:9; 32:14, 19; [Hos. 8:14; Mic. 5:11] For the fortified city is solitary,
a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness;
there the calf grazes;
there it lies down and strips its branches.
11When its boughs are dry, they are broken;
women come and make a fire of them.
#
Deut. 32:28; See ch. 30:16-18 For this is a people without discernment;
therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them;
he who formed them will show them no favor.
12In that day #See Gen. 15:18from the river Euphrates#27:12 Hebrew from the River to the Brook of Egypt the Lord will thresh out the grain, and you will be gleaned one by one, O people of Israel. 13And in that day #Lev. 25:9; [Matt. 24:31; Rev. 11:15] a great trumpet will be blown, #ch. 11:11, 16; Mic. 7:12 and those who were lost in the land of Assyria and those who were driven out to the land of Egypt #[ch. 2:2]will come and worship the Lord on the holy mountain at 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.
