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.
