Isa 27
1
In that day God shall bring his holy and great and strong sword upon the dragon, even
the serpent that flees, upon the dragon, the crooked serpent: he shall destroy the
dragon.
2
In that day there shall be a fair vineyard, and a desire to commence a song concerning
it.
3
I am a strong city, a city in a siege: in vain shall I water it; for it shall be taken
by night, and by day the wall shall fall.
4
There is no woman that has not taken hold of it; who will set me to watch stubble
in the field? because of this enemy I have set her aside; therefore on this account
the Lord has done all that he appointed.
5
I am burnt up; they that dwell in her shall cry, Let us make peace with him, let us
make peace,
6
they that are coming are the children of Jacob. Israel shall bud and blossom, and
the world shall be filled with his fruit.
7
Shall he himself be thus smitten, even as he smote? and as he slew, shall he be thus
slain?
8
Fighting and reproaching he will dismiss them; did you not meditate with a harsh spirit,
to slay them with a wrathful spirit?
9
Therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be taken away; and this is his blessing, when
I shall have taken away his sin; when they shall have broken to pieces all the stones
of the altars as fine dust, and their trees shall not remain, and their idols shall
be cut off, as a thicket afar off.
10
The flock that dwelt there shall be left, as a deserted flock; and the ground shall
be for a long time for pasture, and there shall flocks lie down to rest.
11
And after a time there shall be in it no green thing because of the grass being parched.
Come here, you woman that come See Hebrew from a sight; for it is a people of no understanding; therefore he who made them
shall have no pity upon them, and he who formed them shall have no mercy upon them.
12
And it shall come to pass in that day that God shall fence men off from the channel
of the river as far as Rhinocorura; but do you gather one by one the children of Israel.
13
And it shall come to pass in that day that they shall blow the great trumpet, and
the lost ones in the land of the Assyrians shall come, and the lost ones in Egypt,
and shall worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
