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
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.
