Isaiah 27
The Deliverance and
Ingathering of Israel |
1 |
In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan Job.
41.1 · Ps.
74.14 ; 104.26 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 defensed 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 show them no favor.
|
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.
