Chapter 27
|
1
|
In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong
sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even
leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the
dragon that is in the sea. |
2
|
In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine. |
3
|
I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment:
lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. |
4
|
Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns
against me in battle? I would go through them, I would
burn them together. |
5
|
Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make
peace with me; and he shall make peace with me. |
6
|
He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root:
Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the
world with fruit. |
7
|
Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him?
or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that
are slain by him? |
8
|
In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate
with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the
east wind. |
9
|
By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged;
and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when
he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones
that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall
not stand up. |
10
|
Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation
forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the
calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the
branches thereof. |
11
|
When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be
broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for
it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that
made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed
them will shew them no favour. |
12
|
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD
shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the
stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one,
O ye children of Israel. |
13
|
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great
trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were
ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts
in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the
holy mount at Jerusalem. |
