1. On that day, the Lord will take a great sword, harsh and mighty, and will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan the writhing serpent, and will kill the dragon that is in the sea.
2. On that day:Sing about a delightful vineyard!
3. I, the Lord, am its guardian.Every moment I water it;night and day I guard it from attack.
4. I’m not angry,but if it yields thorns and thistles for me,I will march to battle against it;I will torch it completely.
5. Or let them cling to me for refuge;let them make peace with me;let them make peace with me.
6. In coming days,Jacob will take root;Israel will blossom and sproutand fill the whole world with produce.
7. Did God strike Israel as he struck those who struck him?Was Israel killed as his killers were killed?
8. By frightening Jerusalem, by sending her away,you contended with her,expelling with a fierce blaston the day of the east wind.
