Isaiah 27

New Living Translation NLT

1 In that day the LORD will take his terrible, swift sword and punish Leviathan, the swiftly moving serpent, the coiling, writhing serpent. He will kill the dragon of the sea.

2 “In that day, sing about the fruitful vineyard.

3 I, the LORD, will watch over it, watering it carefully. Day and night I will watch so no one can harm it.

4 My anger will be gone. If I find briers and thorns growing, I will attack them; I will burn them up—

5 unless they turn to me for help. Let them make peace with me; yes, let them make peace with me.”

6 The time is coming when Jacob’s descendants will take root. Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole earth with fruit!

7 Has the LORD struck Israel as he struck her enemies? Has he punished her as he punished them?

8 No, but he exiled Israel to call her to account. She was exiled from her land as though blown away in a storm from the east.

9 The LORD did this to purge Israel’s wickedness, to take away all her sin. As a result, all the pagan altars will be crushed to dust. No Asherah pole or pagan shrine will be left standing.

10 The fortified towns will be silent and empty, the houses abandoned, the streets overgrown with weeds. Calves will graze there, chewing on twigs and branches.

11 The people are like the dead branches of a tree, broken off and used for kindling beneath the cooking pots. Israel is a foolish and stupid nation, for its people have turned away from God. Therefore, the one who made them will show them no pity or mercy.

12 Yet the time will come when the LORD will gather them together like handpicked grain. One by one he will gather them—from the Euphrates River in the east to the Brook of Egypt in the west.

13 In that day the great trumpet will sound. Many who were dying in exile in Assyria and Egypt will return to Jerusalem to worship the LORD on his holy mountain.

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.
