Isaiah 27
Legacy Standard Bible

Yahweh Will Deliver Israel

27 In that day (A)Yahweh will [a]punish [b](B)Leviathan the fleeing serpent,
With His fierce and great and [c]mighty sword,
Even [d]Leviathan the twisted serpent;
And (C)He will kill the dragon who lives in the sea.

2 In that day,
“A [e](D)vineyard of delight, sing of it!
3 I, Yahweh, am its keeper;
(E)I water it every moment.
Lest anyone [f]damage it,
I (F)keep it night and day.
4 I have no wrath.
Who would ever give Me (G)briars and thorns in the battle?
I would step on them, (H)I would burn them [g]completely.
5 Or let him [h](I)rely on My strong defense,
Let him make peace with Me,
Let him (J)make peace with Me.”
6 [i]In the days to come Jacob (K)will take root,
Israel will (L)blossom and bud,
And they will fill the [j]whole world with (M)produce.

7 Like the striking of Him who has struck them, has (N)He struck them?
Or like the slaughter of those of His who were killed, [k]have they been killed?
8 You contended with them [l]by driving them away, by (O)making them forlorn.
With His fierce wind He has expelled them on the day of the (P)east wind.
9 Therefore through this, Jacob’s iniquity will be (Q)atoned for;
And this will be the whole fruit of the (R)turning away of his sin:
When he makes all the (S)altar stones like pulverized chalk stones,
When [m]Asherim and incense altars will not stand.
10 For the fortified city is (T)isolated,
A [n]haunt [o]forlorn and forsaken like the desert;
(U)There the calf will graze,
And there it will lie down and [p]feed on its twigs.
11 When its (V)limbs are dry, they are broken off;
Women come and light a fire with them,
For they are not a people of (W)discernment,
Therefore (X)their Maker (Y)will not have compassion on them.
And their Creator will not be gracious to them.

12 And it will be in that day, that Yahweh (Z)will start His threshing from the flowing stream of the [q](AA)River to the brook of Egypt, and you will be (AB)gathered up one by one, O sons of Israel. 13 And it will be in that day, that a great (AC)trumpet will be blown, and those who were perishing in the land of (AD)Assyria and who were banished in the land of Egypt will come and (AE)worship Yahweh in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

Isaiah 27
Christian Standard Bible

Leviathan Slain

27 On that day the Lord with his relentless, large, strong sword will bring judgment on Leviathan,(A) the fleeing serpent—Leviathan, the twisting serpent. He will slay the monster that is in the sea.(B)

The Lord’s Vineyard

2 On that day
sing about a desirable vineyard:(C)
3 I am the Lord, who watches over it
to water it regularly.
So that no one disturbs it,
I watch over it night and day.
4 I am not angry.
If only there were thorns and briers(D) for me to battle,
I would trample them
and burn them to the ground.
5 Or let it take hold of my strength;
let it make peace with me—
make peace with me.
6 In days to come, Jacob will take root.(E)
Israel will blossom and bloom(F)
and fill the whole world with fruit.

7 Did the Lord strike Israel
as he struck the one who struck Israel?(G)
Was Israel killed like those killed by the Lord?
8 You disputed with Israel
by banishing and driving her away.[a]
He removed her with his severe storm
on the day of the east wind.
9 Therefore Jacob’s iniquity(H) will be atoned for in this way,
and the result of the removal of his sin will be this:(I)
when he makes all the altar stones
like crushed bits of chalk,
no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
10 For the fortified city will be desolate,
pastures deserted and abandoned like a wilderness.
Calves will graze there,
and there they will spread out and strip its branches.
11 When its branches dry out, they will be broken off.
Women will come and make fires with them,
for they are not a people with understanding.(J)
Therefore their Maker(K) will not have compassion on them,
and their Creator will not be gracious to them.

12 On that day(L)
the Lord will thresh grain from the Euphrates River
as far as the Wadi of Egypt,(M)
and you Israelites will be gathered one by one.
13 On that day
a great ram’s horn(N) will be blown,
and those lost in the land of Assyria will come,
as well as those dispersed in the land of Egypt;
and they will worship the Lord
at Jerusalem on the holy mountain.
