Isaiah 27

Christian Standard Bible (CSB)

Switch Version:

¹ On that day the LORD with his relentless, large, strong sword will bring judgment on Leviathan, ⓕ the fleeing serpent — Leviathan, the twisting serpent. He will slay the monster that is in the sea. ⓖ

² On that day sing about a desirable vineyard: ⓗ

³ I am the LORD, who watches over it to water it regularly. So that no one disturbs it, I watch over it night and day.

⁴ I am not angry. If only there were thorns and briers ⓘ for me to battle, I would trample them and burn them 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. ⓙ Israel will blossom and bloom ⓚ and fill the whole world with fruit.

⁷ Did the LORD strike Israel as he struck the one who struck Israel? ⓛ Was Israel killed like those killed by the LORD?

⁸ You disputed with Israel by banishing and driving her away. [1] He removed her with his severe storm on the day of the east wind.

⁹ Therefore Jacob’s iniquity ⓜ will be atoned for in this way, and the result of the removal of his sin will be this: ⓝ 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 desolate, pastures deserted and abandoned 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. ⓐ Therefore their Maker ⓑ will not have compassion on them, and their Creator will not be gracious to them.

¹² On that day ⓒ the LORD will thresh grain from the Euphrates River as far as the Wadi of Egypt, ⓓ and you Israelites will be gathered one by one.

¹³ On that day a great trumpet ⓔ 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.
