Isaiah 26:20-27:1
Amplified Bible
20
Come, my people, enter your chambers
And shut your doors behind you;
Hide for a little while
Until the [Lord’s] [a]wrath is past.
21
Listen carefully, the Lord is about to come out of His [heavenly] place
To punish the inhabitants of the earth for their wickedness [their sin, their injustice, their wrongdoing];
The earth will reveal the [innocent] blood shed upon her
And will no longer cover her slain.
The Deliverance of Israel
27 In that day the Lord will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent
With His fierce and great and mighty sword [rescuing Israel from her enemy],
Even Leviathan the twisted serpent;
And He will kill the dragon who lives in the sea.
