Isaiah 26:20-27:1
New American Standard Bible
20 Come, my people, (A)enter 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 wrongdoing;
And the earth will (F)reveal her bloodshed
And will no longer cover her slain.
God’s Blessings for Israel
27 On 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.

Isaiah 26:20-27:1
New King James Version
Take Refuge from the Coming Judgment
20 Come, my people, (A)enter your chambers,
And shut your doors behind you;
Hide yourself, as it were, (B)for a little moment,
Until the indignation is past.
21 For behold, the Lord (C)comes out of His place
To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity;
The earth will also disclose her [a]blood,
And will no more cover her slain.
Israel Will Be Restored
27 In that day the Lord with His severe sword, great and strong,
Will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent,
(D)Leviathan that twisted serpent;
And He will slay (E)the reptile that is in the sea.
