God will deliver Israel
27
📚In that day✭ the LORD, with his fierce and great and strong sword✭ will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan✭ that twisted serpent, and he will kill the sea dragon.2 📚✭In that day sing to her,
a vineyard producing red wine.
3 📚“I, the LORD, keep it.
I water it every moment.
I keep it night and day so that
no one will harm it.
4 📚Fury is no longer in me.
Who would set the briars and
thorns against me in battle?
I would go through them;
I would burn them up together.
5 📚Or let him✭ take hold of
my strength,
so that he may make peace
with me;
and he will make peace
with me”.
6 📚✭In the coming time he will cause
Jacob to take root.
Israel will blossom and bud,
and fill the face of the world
with fruit✭.
7 📚✭Has he struck him,
as he struck those who struck him?
Or is he killed in accordance
with the slaughter of those
who are killed by him?
8 📚In measure,
you contended with him
by exiling him.
With his rough wind
he drove him out,
on the day of the east wind.
9 📚Therefore by this the iniquity
of Jacob will be purged,
and this is the full fruit
of taking away his sin:
when he makes all the stones
of the altar like chalk stones
that are crushed in pieces,
the groves and images
will not stand.
10 📚For the fortified city will be
desolate,
a settlement forsaken
and left like a wilderness.
There the calf will feed,
and there 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 it is a people of
no understanding✭;
therefore he who made them
will not have mercy on them,
and he who formed them
will show them no favour.
12 📚And it will happen in that day✭, that the LORD will thresh✭ from the channel of the River Euphrates to the Brook of Egypt, and you will be gathered one by one, O children of Israel. 13 📚And it will happen in that day, that the great trumpet✭ will be blown, and those who were about to perish in the land of Assyria, and the exiles in the land of Egypt, will come and worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
