          DASV: Isaiah 27    

1 In that day the LORD with his terrible, great and strong sword
     will punish leviathan the swift serpent,
      leviathan the twisting serpent;
     he will slay the sea monster.

2 In that day sing about the delightful vineyard.
3 I, the LORD, am its keeper;
     I will water it all the time.
      I will guard it day and night
     so that no one can harm it.
4 I am not angry;
     if it gives me briers and thorns
           I will wage war on them!
           I would burn them up.
5 Let them take hold of my protection,
     that they may make peace with me;
     yes, let them make peace with me.
6 In days to come Jacob will take root;
     Israel will bud and blossom,
      and fill the entire world with fruit.
7 Has he struck them as he struck those who struck them?
     Or have they been killed as those who killed them were killed?
8 You contend with them by expulsion and exile;
     he has blown them away with his fierce wind
           as in the day of the east wind.
9 Therefore by this Jacob's iniquity will be forgiven,
          and this will be the full fruit of taking away his sin:
      When he makes all the stones of the altar like crushed limestone,
          with no Asherah poles and incense altars left standing.
10 For the fortified city is solitary,
          a habitat deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness.
     There the calf feeds,
           and there it will lie down,
                and consume its branches.
11 When its branches are withered,
     they are broken off;
           women come and make a fire with them.
      For it is a people with no understanding,
          therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them,
          and he who formed them will show them no mercy.

12 In that day, the LORD will thresh grain, from the Euphrates
River to the Brook of Egypt; you will be gathered one by
one, O Israelites.
13 In that day, a great trumpet will be blown; those lost in
the land of Assyria will come, along with those who were
refugees in the land of Egypt; they will worship the LORD
in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
