Isaiah 27:2-12

2 in die illa vinea meri cantabit ei

3 ego Dominus qui servo eam repente propinabo ei ne forte visitetur contra eam nocte et die servo eam

4 indignatio non est mihi quis dabit me spinam et veprem in proelio gradiar super eam succendam eam pariter

5 an potius tenebit fortitudinem meam faciet pacem mihi pacem faciet mihi

6 qui egrediuntur impetu ad Iacob florebit et germinabit Israhel et implebunt faciem orbis semine

7 numquid iuxta plagam percutientis se percussit eum aut sicut occidit interfectos eius sic occisus est

8 in mensura contra mensuram cum abiecta fuerit iudicabis eam meditata est in spiritu suo duro per diem aestus

9 idcirco super hoc dimittetur iniquitas domui Iacob et iste omnis fructus ut auferatur peccatum eius cum posuerit omnes lapides altaris sicut lapides cineris adlisos non stabunt luci et delubra

10 civitas enim munita desolata erit speciosa relinquetur et dimittetur quasi desertum ibi pascetur vitulus et ibi accubabit et consumet summitates eius

11 in siccitate messis illius conterentur mulieres venientes et docentes eam non est enim populus sapiens propterea non miserebitur eius qui fecit eum et qui formavit eum non parcet ei

12 et erit in die illa percutiet Dominus ab alveo Fluminis usque ad torrentem Aegypti et vos congregabimini unus et unus filii Israhel

Isaiah 27:2-12 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO ISAIAH 27

This chapter refers to the same times as the two foregoing ones Isa 25:1-26:21; and is a continuation of the same song, or rather a new one on the same occasion; it is prophetical of the last times, and of what shall be done in them, as the destruction of the antichristian powers, and Satan at the head of them, Isa 27:1 the happy state of the church, and its fruitfulness under the care and protection of the Lord, and his affection for it, Isa 27:2-4 its peace, prosperity, and flourishing condition, Isa 27:5,6 the nature, use, and end of all its afflictions and chastisements, Isa 27:7-9 the ruin and destruction of the city of Rome, and its inhabitants, and of its whole jurisdiction, Isa 27:10,11 a great gathering and conversion of the Lord's people, both Jews and Gentiles, by the ministry of the Gospel, Isa 27:12,13.
