1. At that time the Lord will punish Leviathan with his sword. His great, powerful and deadly sword will punish the serpent that glides through the sea. He will kill that twisting sea monster.
2. At that time the Lord will sing about his fruitful vineyard. He will say,
3. "I am the Lord. I watch over my vineyard. I water it all the time. I guard it day and night. I do it so no one can harm it.
4. I am not angry with my vineyard. I wish thorns and bushes would come up in it. Then I would march out against them in battle. I would set all of them on fire.
5. So the enemies of my people had better come to me for safety. They should make peace with me. I will say it again. They should make peace with me."
6. In days to come, Jacob's people will put down roots like a vine. Israel will bud and bloom. They will fill the whole world with fruit.
