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.

New Living Translation
Restoration for Israel
20 Go home, my people,
and lock your doors!
Hide yourselves for a little while
until the Lord’s anger has passed.
21 Look! The Lord is coming from heaven
to punish the people of the earth for their sins.
The earth will no longer hide those who have been killed.
They will be brought out for all to see.
27 In that day the Lord will take his terrible, swift sword and punish Leviathan,[a] the swiftly moving serpent, the coiling, writhing serpent. He will kill the dragon of the sea.
Footnotes
- 27:1 The identification of Leviathan is disputed, ranging from an earthly creature to a mythical sea monster in ancient literature.
