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.

Revised Standard Version
20 Come, my people, enter your chambers,
and shut your doors behind you;
hide yourselves for a little while
until the wrath is past.

to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity,
and the earth will disclose the blood shed upon her,
and will no more cover her slain.
