Isaiah 以赛亚书27

27In that day, the Lord will punish with his sword, his fierce, great and powerful sword, Leviathan the gliding¹ serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent; he will slay² the monster of the sea.
2In that day- "Sing about a fruitful vineyard:
3I, the Lord , watch over it; I water it continually. I guard it day and night so that no one may harm it.
4I am not angry. If only there were briers and thorns confronting me! I would march against them in battle; I would set them all on fire.
5Or else let them come to me for refuge; let them make peace with me, yes, let them make peace with me."
6In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit.
7Has the Lord struck her as he struck down those who struck her? Has she been killed as those were killed who killed her?
8By warfare³ and exile you contend with her- with his fierce blast he drives her out, as on a day the east wind blows.
9By this, then, will Jacob's guilt⁴ be atoned⁵ for, and this will be the full fruitage of the removal of his sin: When he makes all the altar stones to be like chalk stones crushed to pieces, no Asherah poles or incense⁶ altars will be left standing⁷.
10The fortified⁸ city stands desolate⁹, an abandoned settlement, forsaken¹⁰ like the desert; there the calves¹¹ graze, there they lie down; they strip its branches bare.
11When its twigs¹² are dry, they are broken off and women come and make fires with them. For this is a people without understanding; so their Maker¹³ has no compassion¹⁴ on them, and their Creator shows them no favor.
12In that day the Lord will thresh from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt, and you, O Israelites, will be gathered up one by one.
13And in that day a great trumpet¹⁵ will sound. Those who were perishing in Assyria and those who were exiled in Egypt will come and worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
