ULT ISA Chapter 27

◄ ISA 27 ► ║ ═ ©

27 On that day Yahweh will visit

with his harsh and great and strong sword

upon Leviathan the fleeing serpent

and upon Leviathan the twisting serpent,

and he will kill the monster that is in the sea.

2 On that day,

“A vineyard of delight, sing about it!

3 I, Yahweh, am guarding it.

I water it to moments.

Lest one visit against it,

I guard it night and day.

4 Wrath is not to me.

Who will give me briar, thorn?

Let me march against it into battle;

let me burn it altogether.

5 Or let it take hold of my refuge;

let it make peace with me;

peace, let it make with me.”

6 In the coming days, Jacob will take root;

Israel will blossom and bud,

and they will fill the face of the world with produce.

7 Has he struck him according to the striking of the one striking him?

Or was he slain according to the slaying of his slain ones?

8 By measuring, by sending her away,

you contended with her.

He removed her with his harsh wind

on a day of east wind.

9 Therefore, by this the iniquity of Jacob will be covered,

and this will be all of the fruit of the removing of his sin:

when he makes all of the stones of the altar

like crushed stones of chalk;

the Asherahs and sun images will not stand.

10 For the fortified city is alone,

a habitation sent away and abandoned like the wilderness.

There a calf grazes,

and there it lies down and consumes its branches.

11 When its boughs dry up, they will be broken.

Women will be coming, they will be kindling it.

For it is not a people of understanding.

Therefore its maker does not pity it,

and its fashioner does not favor it.

12 And it will happen in that day,

Yahweh will thresh from the flood of the River

to the stream of Egypt,

and you, you will be gathered to one, one,

sons of Israel.

13 And it will happen in that day,

it will be blown upon a great shofar,

and the perishing in the land of Assyria will come,

and the banished in the land of Egypt,

and they will bow down to Yahweh

on the mountain of holiness in Jerusalem.
