“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.” (Isaiah
27:1-13 AV)
