Isaiah 27
New King James Version
Israel Will Be Restored
27 In that day the Lord with His severe sword, great and strong,
Will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent,
(A)Leviathan that twisted serpent;
And He will slay (B)the reptile that is in the sea.
The Restoration of Israel
2 In that day (C)sing to her,
(D)“A vineyard of [a]red wine!
3 (E)I, the Lord, keep it,
I water it every moment;
Lest any hurt it,
I keep it night and day.
4 Fury is not in Me.
Who would set (F)briers and thorns
Against Me in battle?
I would go through them,
I would burn them together.
5 Or let him take hold (G)of My strength,
That he may (H)make peace with Me;
And he shall make peace with Me.”
6 Those who come He shall cause (I)to take root in Jacob;
Israel shall blossom and bud,
And fill the face of the world with fruit.
7 (J)Has He struck [b]Israel as He struck those who struck him?
Or has He been slain according to the slaughter of those who were slain by Him?
8 (K)In measure, by sending it away,
You contended with it.
(L)He removes it by His rough wind
In the day of the east wind.
9 Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be covered;
And this is all the fruit of taking away his sin:
When he makes all the stones of the altar
Like chalkstones that are beaten to dust,
[c]Wooden images and incense altars shall not stand.
10 Yet the fortified city will be (M)desolate,
The habitation forsaken and left like a wilderness;
There the calf will feed, and there it will lie down
And consume its branches.
11 When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off;
The women come and set them on fire.
For (N)it is a people of no understanding;
Therefore He who made them will (O)not have mercy on them,
And (P)He who formed them will show them no favor.
12 And it shall come to pass in that day
That the Lord will thresh,
From the channel of [d]the River to the Brook of Egypt;
And you will be (Q)gathered one by one,
O you children of Israel.
13 (R)So it shall be in that day:
(S)The great trumpet will be blown;
They will come, who are about to perish in the land of Assyria,
And they who are outcasts in the land of (T)Egypt,
And shall (U)worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

Leviathan Slain
27 On that day the Lord with His harsh, great, and strong sword, will bring judgment on Leviathan,(A) the fleeing serpent—Leviathan, the twisting serpent. He will slay the monster that is in the sea.(B)
The Lord’s Vineyard
2 On that day
sing about a desirable vineyard:(C)
3 I, Yahweh, watch over it;
I water it regularly.
I guard it night and day
so that no one disturbs it.
4 I am not angry,
but if it produces thorns and briers(D) for Me,
I will fight against it, trample it,
and burn it to the ground.
5 Or let it take hold of My strength;
let it make peace with Me—
make peace with Me.
6 In days to come, Jacob will take root.(E)
Israel will blossom and bloom(F)
and fill the whole world with fruit.
7 Did the Lord strike Israel
as He struck the one who struck Israel?(G)
Was he killed like those killed by Him?
8 You disputed with her
by banishing and driving her away.[a]
He removed her with His severe storm
on the day of the east wind.
9 Therefore Jacob’s iniquity(H) will be purged in this way,
and the result of the removal of his sin will be this:(I)
when he makes all the altar stones
like crushed bits of chalk,
no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
10 For the fortified city will be deserted,
pastures abandoned and forsaken like a wilderness.
Calves will graze there,
and there they will spread out and strip its branches.
11 When its branches dry out, they will be broken off.
Women will come and make fires with them,
for they are not a people with understanding.(J)
Therefore their Maker(K) will not have compassion on them,
and their Creator will not be gracious to them.
12 On that day(L)
the Lord will thresh grain from the Euphrates River
as far as the Wadi of Egypt,(M)
and you Israelites will be gathered one by one.
13 On that day
a great trumpet(N) will be blown,
and those lost in the land of Assyria will come,
as well as those dispersed in the land of Egypt;
and they will worship the Lord
at Jerusalem on the holy mountain.

Jesaja 27
BasisBijbel
God zal zijn volk redden van de overheersers
27 Jesaja zegt: In die tijd zal de Heer met zijn harde, grote, sterke zwaard de leviatan straffen, die kronkelende zeedraak.[a] Hij zal de draak in de zee doden. 2 In die tijd zal Gods wijngaard (Israël) rood van de druiven zien. Zing over die wijngaard! 3 De Heer zegt: "Ik, de Heer, zal voor mijn wijngaard zorgen. Ik zal hem elke dag water geven. Ik zal hem dag en nacht bewaken, zodat niemand hem kwaad kan doen. 4 Ik ben niet langer woedend op mijn wijngaard. Wie zal Mij durven aanvallen? Ik zal elke vijand vernietigen, net zoals je dorens en distels uitrukt en verbrandt. 5 Laten ze liever naar Mij toe komen om hulp. Laten ze vrede met Mij sluiten."
6 In de toekomst zal het volk Israël wortel schieten, zoals een jonge wijnstruik. Israël zal groeien en bloeien en de hele aarde vullen met zijn vruchten. 7 Heeft Hij Israël net zo zwaar gestraft als hun vijanden? Heeft Hij hen gedood, zoals Hij hun vijanden heeft gedood? 8 Nee, Hij heeft hen maar mild gestraft. Hij heeft hen alleen maar weggejaagd naar een ander land. Hij heeft hen weggejaagd als met een harde oostenwind. 9 Dat is Israëls straf voor alles wat het heeft gedaan. Dat zal voldoende zijn. Daarna zal Israël vergeving krijgen. Dan zal Hij het kwaad bij hen wegdoen, doordat Hij hun altaren zal stukslaan. Hun heilige palen en hun godenbeelden zullen niet blijven staan. Het zullen steenhopen worden.
10 De sterke stad van de vijand zal eenzaam en verlaten liggen. Er zullen net zo weinig mensen wonen als in een woestijn. Er zullen kalveren grazen. Ze zullen er slapen en de bladeren van de takken eten. 11 De kale takken zullen verdrogen en afbreken. Vrouwen zullen ze verzamelen als brandhout. Want dit is een onverstandig volk. Ze willen niet naar hun Maker luisteren. Daarom zal Hij niet meer voor hen zorgen en zal Hij hen niet vergeven.
12 In die tijd zal de Heer zijn volk weer verzamelen van tussen de volken waar zij leven. Net zoals je de graankorrels uit de aren klopt en verzamelt. Hij zal hen overal vandaan halen, vanaf de Rivier de Eufraat tot aan de rivier van Egypte. Hij zal ze één voor één verzamelen. 13 In die tijd zal er op een grote ramshoorn worden geblazen. En alle mensen die gevangen meegenomen waren naar Assur of die gevlucht waren naar Egypte, zullen terugkomen. Ze zullen de Heer aanbidden op de heilige berg van Jeruzalem.

Isaiah 27
New International Version
Deliverance of Israel
27 In that day,(A)
the Lord will punish with his sword(B)—
his fierce, great and powerful sword—
Leviathan(C) the gliding serpent,(D)
Leviathan the coiling serpent;
he will slay the monster(E) of the sea.
2 In that day(F)—
“Sing(G) about a fruitful vineyard:(H)
3 I, the Lord, watch over it;
I water(I) it continually.
I guard(J) it day and night
so that no one may harm(K) it.
4 I am not angry.
If only there were briers and thorns confronting me!
I would march against them in battle;
I would set them all on fire.(L)
5 Or else let them come to me for refuge;(M)
let them make peace(N) with me,
yes, let them make peace with me.”
6 In days to come Jacob will take root,(O)
Israel will bud and blossom(P)
and fill all the world with fruit.(Q)
7 Has the Lord struck her
as he struck(R) down those who struck her?
Has she been killed
as those were killed who killed her?
8 By warfare[a] and exile(S) you contend with her—
with his fierce blast he drives her out,
as on a day the east wind(T) blows.
9 By this, then, will Jacob’s guilt be atoned(U) for,
and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin:(V)
When he makes all the altar stones(W)
to be like limestone crushed to pieces,
no Asherah poles[b](X) or incense altars(Y)
will be left standing.
10 The fortified city stands desolate,(Z)
an abandoned settlement, forsaken(AA) like the wilderness;
there the calves graze,(AB)
there they lie down;(AC)
they strip its branches bare.
11 When its twigs are dry, they are broken off(AD)
and women come and make fires(AE) with them.
For this is a people without understanding;(AF)
so their Maker has no compassion on them,
and their Creator(AG) shows them no favor.(AH)
12 In that day the Lord will thresh(AI) from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt,(AJ) and you, Israel, will be gathered(AK) up one by one. 13 And in that day(AL) a great trumpet(AM) will sound. Those who were perishing in Assyria and those who were exiled(AN) in Egypt(AO) will come and worship(AP) the Lord on the holy mountain(AQ) in Jerusalem.
