Isaiah 27:1-8 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

1. In that day יהוה with His severe sword, great and strong, punishes Liwiathan the fleeing serpent, Liwiathan that twisted serpent. And He shall slay the monster that is in the sea.

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

3. “I, יהוה, do guard it, I water it every moment; lest any hurt it, I guard it night and day.

4. “Wrath is not in Me. Who would set thornbushes and weeds against Me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

5. “Or let him take hold of My strength and make peace with Me. Let him make peace with Me!”

6. Those who come He causes to take root in Ya‛aqoḇ, Yisra’ĕl shall blossom and bud. And they shall fill the face of the world with fruit.

7. Has He smitten him as He smote those who were smiting him? Or were they slain as those they had slaughtered?

8. In measure, by sending her away, You contended with her. He shall take away by His rough wind in the day of the east wind.
