20 Go, my people, enter into your chambers
    and shut your doors[a] behind you;
hide for a very little[b] while,
    until the wrath has passed over.
21 For look! Yahweh is about to come out from his place
    to punish the iniquity of the inhabitants[c] of the earth against him,
and the earth will disclose her blood
    and will no longer cover her slain.

Israel Rescued

27 On that day, Yahweh will punish with his cruel, great and strong sword Leviathan, the fleeing serpent, and Leviathan, the twisting serpent, and he will kill the sea monster that is in the sea.
