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.
