Isaiah 27:1-6

MSG

NIV

1 At that time God will unsheathe his sword, his merciless, massive, mighty sword. He'll punish the serpent Leviathan as it flees, the serpent Leviathan thrashing in flight. He'll kill that old dragon that lives in the sea.
1 In that day, the LORD will punish with his sword— his fierce, great and powerful sword— Leviathan the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent; he will slay the monster of the sea.
2 "At that same time, a fine vineyard will appear. There's something to sing about!
2 In that day— “Sing about a fruitful vineyard:
3 I, God, tend it. I keep it well-watered. I keep careful watch over it so that no one can damage it.
3 I, the LORD, watch over it; I water it continually. I guard it day and night so that no one may harm it.
4 I'm not angry. I care. Even if it gives me thistles and thornbushes, I'll just pull them out and burn them up.
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.
5 Let that vine cling to me for safety, let it find a good and whole life with me, let it hold on for a good and whole life."
5 Or else let them come to me for refuge; let them make peace with me, yes, let them make peace with me.”
6 The days are coming when Jacob shall put down roots, Israel blossom and grow fresh branches, and fill the world with its fruit.
6 In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit.
