Isaiah 26:20-27:1
Legacy Standard Bible
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.

Evangelical Heritage Version
20 Go, my people, go into your rooms,
and shut the doors behind you.
Hide yourselves for a little while,
until his wrath has passed over.
21 Look! The Lord is coming out of his place
to deal with the guilt of those who live on the earth.
Then the earth will reveal the blood shed on it.
It will no longer cover those who have been killed.
The Lord Will Deliver Israel
27 On that day, the Lord will draw his sharp, great, and powerful sword, and he will kill Leviathan,[a] the slithering serpent—Leviathan, the coiling serpent. The Lord will kill the monster[b] in the sea.
