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 [b]runs its course.
21 For behold, the Lord is about to (D)come out from His place
To (E)punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;
And the earth will (F)reveal her bloodshed
And will no longer cover her slain.

The Deliverance of Israel

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