Deliverance of Israel
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.
27:2 In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.
27:3 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment:
lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
27:4 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.
27:5 Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make
peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.
27:6 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.
27:7 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?
27:8 In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate
with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east
wind.
27:9 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.
27:10 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.
27:11 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.
27:12 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.
27:13 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. |
