Isaiah 27 — Legacy Standard Bible

Yahweh Will Deliver Israel

27In that day ^aYahweh will ¹punish ²^,^bLeviathan the fleeing serpent,With His fierce and great and ³mighty sword,Even ⁴Leviathan the twisted serpent;And ^cHe will kill the dragon who lives in the sea.²In that day,“A ¹^,^avineyard of delight, sing of it!³“I, Yahweh, am its keeper;^aI water it every moment.Lest anyone ¹damage it,I ^bkeep it night and day.⁴“I have no wrath.Who would ever give Me ^abriars and thorns in the battle?I would step on them, ^bI would burn them ¹completely.⁵“Or let him ¹^,^arely on My strong defense,Let him make peace with Me,Let him ^bmake peace with Me.”⁶¹In the days to come Jacob ^awill take root,Israel will ^bblossom and bud,And they will fill the ²whole world with ^cproduce.⁷Like the striking of Him who has struck them, has ^aHe struck them?Or like the slaughter of those of His who were killed, ¹have they been killed?⁸You contended with them ¹by driving them away, by ^amaking them forlorn.With His fierce wind He has expelled them on the day of the ^beast wind.⁹Therefore through this, Jacob’s iniquity will be ^aatoned for;And this will be the whole fruit of the ^bturning away of his sin:When he makes all the ^caltar stones like pulverized chalk stones,When ¹Asherim and incense altars will not stand.¹⁰For the fortified city is ^aisolated,A ¹haunt ²forlorn and forsaken like the desert;^bThere the calf will graze,And there it will lie down and ³feed on its twigs.¹¹When its ^alimbs are dry, they are broken off;Women come and light a fire with them,For they are not a people of ^bdiscernment,Therefore ^ctheir Maker ^dwill not have compassion on them.And their Creator will not be gracious to them.

¹²And it will be in that day, that Yahweh ^awill start His threshing from the flowing stream of the ¹^,^bRiver to the brook of Egypt, and you will be ^cgathered up one by one, O sons of Israel. ¹³And it will be in that day, that a great ^atrumpet will be blown, and those who were perishing in the land of ^bAssyria and who were banished in the land of Egypt will come and ^cworship Yahweh in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
