Isaiah 27
27
1In that day lay a charge doth Jehovah, With his sword — the sharp, and the great, and the strong, On leviathan — a fleeing serpent, And on leviathan — a crooked serpent, And He hath slain the dragon that [is] in the sea.
2In that day, ‘A desirable vineyard,’ respond ye to her,
3I, Jehovah, am its keeper, every moment I water it, Lest any lay a charge against it, Night and day I keep it!
4Fury is not in Me; Who giveth Me a brier — a thorn in battle? I step into it, I burn it at once.
5Or — he doth take hold on My strength, He doth make peace with Me, Peace he doth make with Me.
6Those coming in He causeth to take root, Jacob doth blossom, and flourished hath Israel, And they have filled the face of the world [with] increase.
7As the smiting of his smiter hath He smitten him? As the slaying of his slain doth He slay?
8In measure, in sending it forth, thou strivest with it, He hath taken away by His sharp wind, In the day of an east wind,
9Therefore by this is the iniquity of Jacob covered, And this [is] all the fruit — To take away his sin, in His setting all the stones of an altar, As chalkstones beaten in pieces, They rise not — shrines and images.
10For the fenced city [is] alone, A habitation cast out and forsaken as a wilderness, There doth the calf delight, And there it lieth down, And hath consumed its branches.
11In the withering of its branch it is broken off, Women are coming in setting it on fire, For it [is] not a people of understanding, Therefore pity it not doth its Maker, And its Former doth not favour it.
12And it hath come to pass, in that day, Beat out doth Jehovah from the branch of the river, Unto the stream of Egypt, And ye are gathered one by one, O sons of Israel.
13And it hath come to pass, in that day, It is blown with a great trumpet, And come in have those perishing in the land of Asshur, And those cast out in the land of Egypt, And have bowed themselves to Jehovah, In the holy mount — 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.
