Isaiah 27
Book of Isaiah
Isaiah 27:1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong
sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that
crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
2 In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.
3 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it,
I will keep it night and day.
4 Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in
battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
5 Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me;
and he shall make peace with me.
6 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall
blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
7 Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain
according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
8 In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he
stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
9 By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is
all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the
altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images
shall not stand up.
10 Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken,
and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall
he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the
women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no
understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them,
and he that formed them will shew them no favour.
12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off
from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be
gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall
be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of
Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the
LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
