The Book of Isaiah
Chapter Twenty-seven
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.
