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 Go, my people, enter your rooms
    and shut the doors(A) behind you;
hide(B) yourselves for a little while
    until his wrath(C) has passed by.(D)
21 See, the Lord is coming(E) out of his dwelling(F)
    to punish(G) the people of the earth for their sins.
The earth will disclose the blood(H) shed on it;
    the earth will conceal its slain no longer.

Deliverance of Israel

27 In that day,(I)

the Lord will punish with his sword(J)
    his fierce, great and powerful sword—
Leviathan(K) the gliding serpent,(L)
    Leviathan the coiling serpent;
he will slay the monster(M) of the sea.
