Isaiah 27:2-13
New American Standard Bible
2 On that day,
“A [a](A)vineyard of beauty, sing of it!
3 I, the Lord, am its keeper;
(B)I water it every moment.
So that no one will [b]damage it,
I (C)guard it night and day.
4 I have no wrath.
Should [c]someone give Me (D)briars and thorns in battle,
Then I would step on them, (E)I would burn them [d]completely.
5 Or let him [e](F)rely on My protection,
Let him make peace with Me,
Let him (G)make peace with Me.”
6 [f]In the days to come Jacob (H)will take root,
Israel will (I)blossom and sprout,
And they will fill the [g]whole world with (J)fruit.
7 Like the striking of Him who has struck them, has (K)He struck them?
Or like the slaughter of His slain, [h]have they been slain?
8 You contended with them [i]by banishing them, by (L)driving them away.
With His fierce wind He has expelled them on the day of the (M)east wind.
9 Therefore through this Jacob’s wrongdoing will be (N)forgiven;
And this will be [j]the full price of the [k](O)pardoning of his sin:
When he makes all the (P)altar stones like pulverized chalk stones;
When [l]Asherim and incense altars will not stand.
10 For the fortified city is (Q)isolated,
A [m]homestead deserted and abandoned like the desert;
(R)There the calf will graze,
And there it will lie down and [n]feed on its branches.
11 When its (S)limbs are dry, they are broken off;
Women come and make a fire with them,
For they are not a people of (T)discernment,
Therefore (U)their Maker (V)will not have compassion on them.
And their Creator will not be gracious to them.
12 On that day the Lord (W)will thresh from the flowing stream of the (X)Euphrates River to the brook of Egypt, and you will be (Y)gathered up one by one, you sons of Israel. 13 It will come about also on that day that a great (Z)trumpet will be blown, and those who were perishing in the land of (AA)Assyria and who were scattered in the land of Egypt will come and (AB)worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.

Isaiah 27:2-13
American Standard Version
2 In that day: A vineyard of wine, sing ye [a]unto it. 3 I Jehovah am its keeper; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. 4 Wrath is not in me: would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! I would march upon them, I would burn them together. 5 Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; yea, let him make peace with me. 6 [b]In days to come shall Jacob take root; Israel shall blossom and bud; and they shall fill the face of the world with fruit.
7 Hath he smitten them as he smote those that smote them? or are they slain according to the slaughter [c]of them that were slain by them? 8 [d]In measure, [e]when thou sendest them away, thou dost contend with them; he hath removed them with his rough blast in the day of the east wind. 9 Therefore by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be [f]forgiven, and this is all the fruit [g]of taking away his sin: that he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, so that the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more. 10 For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the 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 shall come, and set them on fire; for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have compassion upon them, and he that formed them will show them no favor.
12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will [h]beat off his fruit from the flood of the River unto the brook of Egypt; and ye shall be [i]gathered [j]one by one, O ye children of Israel.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great trumpet shall be blown; and they shall come that were [k]ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and they that were outcasts in the land of Egypt; and they shall worship Jehovah in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
