King James VersionIsaiah27

Isaiah

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.
