20 Come, my people, enter into your rooms,
    and shut your doors behind you.
Hide yourself for a little moment,
    until the indignation is past.
21 For, behold, Yahweh comes out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity.
    The earth also will disclose her blood, and will no longer cover her slain.

27 In that day, Yahweh with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan, the fleeing serpent, and leviathan the twisted serpent; and he will kill the dragon that is in the sea.

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.
