20 Come, my people, (A)enter into your rooms
And close your doors behind you;
Hide for a little [a](B)while
Until (C)indignation passes by.
21 For behold, Yahweh is about to (D)come out from His place
To (E)visit the iniquity of the inhabitants of the earth;
And the earth will (F)reveal her bloodshed
And will no longer cover those of hers who were killed.

Yahweh Will Deliver Israel

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

20 Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast. 21 For, behold, Jehovah cometh forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

27 In that day Jehovah with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the [a]swift serpent, and leviathan the [b]crooked serpent; and he will slay the monster that is in the sea.
