New King James Version

Isaiah 27:1-7 New King James Version (NKJV)

1. In that day the Lord with His severe sword, great and strong,Will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent,Leviathan that twisted serpent;And He will slay the reptile that is in the sea.

2. In that day sing to her,“A vineyard of red wine!

3. I, the Lord, keep it,I water it every moment;Lest any hurt it,I keep it night and day.

4. Fury is not in Me.Who would set briers and thornsAgainst 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. Those who come He shall cause to take root in Jacob;Israel shall blossom and bud,And fill the face of the world with fruit.

7. Has He struck Israel as He struck those who struck him?Or has He been slain according to the slaughter of those who were slain by Him?
