Isaiah 27
King James Version
27 In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
2 In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.
3 I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
4 Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
5 Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.
6 He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
7 Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
8 In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
9 By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.
10 Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.
12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
Isaiah 27
English Standard Version
The Redemption of Israel
27 In that day the Lord with his hard and great and strong (A)sword will punish (B)Leviathan the fleeing serpent, (C)Leviathan the twisting serpent, and he will slay (D)the dragon that is in the sea.
2 In that day,
(E)“A pleasant vineyard,[a] (F)sing of it!
3 I, the Lord, am its keeper;
every moment I water it.
Lest anyone punish it,
I keep it night and day;
4 I have no wrath.
(G)Would that I had thorns and briers to battle!
I would march against them,
I would burn them up together.
5 Or let them lay hold of my protection,
let them make peace with me,
let them make peace with me.”
6 (H)In days to come[b] Jacob shall take root,
Israel shall blossom and put forth shoots
and fill the whole world with fruit.
7 (I)Has he struck them (J)as he struck those who struck them?
Or have they been slain (K)as their slayers were slain?
8 (L)Measure by measure,[c] by exile you contended with them;
(M)he removed them with his fierce breath[d] in the day of the east wind.
9 Therefore by this (N)the guilt of Jacob will be atoned for,
and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin:[e]
(O)when he makes all the stones of the altars
like chalkstones crushed to pieces,
no (P)Asherim or incense altars will remain standing.
10 (Q)For the fortified city is solitary,
a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness;
there the calf grazes;
there it lies down and strips its branches.
11 When its boughs are dry, they are broken;
women come and make a fire of them.
(R)For this is a people without discernment;
therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them;
he who formed them will show them no favor.
12 In that day (S)from the river Euphrates[f] to the Brook of Egypt the Lord will thresh out the grain, and you will be gleaned one by one, O people of Israel. 13 And in that day (T)a great trumpet will be blown, (U)and those who were lost in the land of Assyria and those who were driven out to the land of Egypt (V)will come and worship the Lord on the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

Chinese New Version (Traditional)
葡萄園之歌
27 到那日，耶和華要施用他銳利、巨大和有力的刀，懲罰鱷魚，就是那快行的蛇；懲罰鱷魚，就是那曲行的蛇；並且要殺海中的大龍。
2 到那日，
有個出酒的葡萄園，你們必指著這園歌唱說：
3 “我耶和華是看守葡萄園的；
我時刻澆灌著它，
並且為免有人毀壞它，
我日夜都看守著。
4 我再沒有忿怒，
若荊棘和蒺藜與我交戰，
我就上前踐踏它們，把它們全部焚毀。
5 除非他們抓住我作他們的避難所，
與我和好，
與我和好。”
6 在將來的日子裡，雅各要扎根，
以色列要發芽開花，
他們的果實必遍布地面。
以色列民受罰
7 耶和華擊打以色列人，豈像擊打那些擊打他們的呢？
主殺戮以色列人，豈像殺戮那些殺戮他們的呢？
8 不，你只是漸漸地，藉著他們被擄與他們相爭；
在吹東風的日子，就用暴風把他們逐去。
9 藉此，雅各的罪孽才得赦免；
他的罪過得以除掉的條件全都在於此，
就是他叫祭壇上所有的石頭都變為破碎的灰石，
使亞舍拉和香壇不再豎立。
10 堅固的城變為淒涼，
成了被撇下、被放棄的居所，像曠野一樣；
牛犢必在那裡吃草，
在那裡躺臥，並且吃盡那裡的樹枝。
以色列民回歸
11 枝條枯乾了，就必被折斷；
婦女必來，拿去生火，
因為這人民愚昧無知，
所以他們的創造主不憐憫他們，
那造成他們的，不向他們施恩。
12 到那日，耶和華要從幼發拉底的溪流，直到埃及小河，收集他的穀物；以色列人哪！你們必一個一個被撿拾回來。 13 到那日，必有大號角吹響，那些在亞述地快要滅亡的，以及那些被趕散在埃及地的，都要前來，在耶路撒冷的聖山上敬拜耶和華。
