Isaiah 27

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 On that day ADONAI, with his great, strong, relentless sword, will punish Livyatan the fleeing serpent, the twisting serpent Livyatan; he will slay the sea monster.

2 On that day, a pleasant vineyard - sing about it!

3 "I, ADONAI, guard it. Moment to moment I water it. So that no harm will come to it, I guard it night and day.

4 I have no anger in me. If it gives me briars and thorns, then, as in war, I will trample it down and burn it up at once;

5 unless it takes hold of my strength, in order to make peace with me, yes, to make peace with me."

6 The time is coming when Ya'akov will take root; Isra'el will bud and flower, and fill the whole world with a harvest.

7 [ADONAI] will not strike Isra'el, as he did others who struck Isra'el; he will not kill them, as he did the others.

8 Your controversy with her is fully resolved by sending her [into exile]. He removes her with a rough gust of wind on a day when it's blowing from the east.

9 So the iniquity of Ya'akov is atoned for by this, and removing his sin produces this result: he chops up all the altar stones like chalk - sacred poles and sun-pillars stand no more.

10 For the fortified city is alone, abandoned and deserted, like the desert. Calves graze and lie down there, stripping its branches bare.

11 When its harvest dries up, it is broken off; women come and set it on fire. For this is a people without understanding. Therefore he who made them will not pity them, he who formed them will show them no mercy.

12 On that day ADONAI will beat out the grain between the Euphrates River and the Vadi of Egypt; and you will be gathered, one by one, people of Isra'el!

13 On that day a great shofar will sound. Those lost in the land of Ashur will come, also those scattered through the land of Egypt; and they will worship ADONAI on the holy mountain in Yerushalayim.

The Message Bible MSG

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.

2 "At that same time, a fine vineyard will appear. There's something to sing about!

3 I, God, tend it. I keep it well-watered. I keep careful watch over it so that no one can damage 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.

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."

6 The days are coming when Jacob shall put down roots, Israel blossom and grow fresh branches, and fill the world with its fruit.

7 Has God knocked them to the ground as he knocked down those who hit them? Oh, no. Were they killed as their killers were killed? Again, no.

8 He was hard on them all right. The exile was a harsh sentence. He blew them away on a fierce blast of wind.

9 But the good news is that through this experience Jacob's guilt was taken away. The evidence that his sin is removed will be this: He will tear down the alien altars, take them apart stone by stone, And then crush the stones into gravel and clean out all the sex-and-religion shrines.

10 For there's nothing left of that pretentious grandeur. Nobody lives there anymore. It's unlivable. But animals do just fine, browsing and bedding down.

11 And it's not a bad place to get firewood. Dry twigs and dead branches are plentiful. It's the leavings of a people with no sense of God. So, the God who made them Will have nothing to do with them. He who formed them will turn his back on them.

12 At that time God will thresh from the River Euphrates to the Brook of Egypt, And you, people of Israel, will be selected grain by grain.

13 At that same time a great trumpet will be blown, calling home the exiles from Assyria, Welcoming home the refugees from Egypt to come and worship God on the holy mountain, Jerusalem.
