Isaiah 27 :: English Standard Version (ESV)

The Redemption of Israel

Isa 27:1In that day the LORD with his hard and great and strong sword will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan the twisting serpent, and he will slay the dragon that is in the sea.

Isa 27:2

Isa 27:2In that day,
“A pleasant vineyard,[fn] sing of it!

Isa 27:3

Isa 27:3I, the LORD, am its keeper;
every moment I water it.
Lest anyone punish it,
I keep it night and day;

Isa 27:4

Isa 27:4I have no wrath.
Would that I had thorns and briers to battle!
I would march against them,
I would burn them up together.

Isa 27:5

Isa 27:5Or let them lay hold of my protection,
let them make peace with me,
let them make peace with me.”

Isa 27:6

Isa 27:6In days to come[fn] Jacob shall take root,
Israel shall blossom and put forth shoots
and fill the whole world with fruit.

Isa 27:7

Isa 27:7Has he struck them as he struck those who struck them?
Or have they been slain as their slayers were slain?

Isa 27:8

Isa 27:8Measure by measure,[fn] by exile you contended with them;
he removed them with his fierce breath[fn] in the day of the east wind.

Isa 27:9

Isa 27:9Therefore by this the guilt of Jacob will be atoned for,
and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin:[fn]
when he makes all the stones of the altars
like chalkstones crushed to pieces,
no Asherim or incense altars will remain standing.

Isa 27:10

Isa 27:10For the fortified city is solitary,
a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness;
there the calf grazes;
there it lies down and strips its branches.

Isa 27:11

Isa 27:11When its boughs are dry, they are broken;
women come and make a fire of them.
For this is a people without discernment;
therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them;
he who formed them will show them no favor.

Isa 27:12

Isa 27:12In that day from the river Euphrates[fn] to the Brook of Egypt the LORD will thresh out the grain, and you will be gleaned one by one, O people of Israel.

Isa 27:13

Isa 27:13And in that day a great trumpet will be blown, and those who were lost in the land of Assyria and those who were driven out to the land of Egypt will come and worship the LORD on the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
