1. In 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.
2. In that day, “A pleasant vineyard, sing of it!
3. I, the Lord, am its keeper;every moment I water it.Lest anyone punish it,I keep it night and day;
4. I have no wrath. Would that I had thorns and briers to battle!I would march against them,I would burn them up together.
5. Or let them lay hold of my protection,let them make peace with me,let them make peace with me.”
6. In days to come Jacob shall take root,Israel shall blossom and put forth shootsand fill the whole world with fruit.
7. Has he struck them as he struck those who struck them?Or have they been slain as their slayers were slain?
