The Deliverance of Israel
1
In that day the L
ORD
will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, With His fierce and great and mighty sword, Even Leviathan the twisted serpent; And He will kill the dragon who
lives
in the sea.
2
In that day, A vineyard of wine, sing of it!
3
I, the L
ORD
, am its keeper; I water it every moment. So that no one will damage it, I guard it night and day.
4
I have no wrath. Should someone give Me briars
and
thorns in battle,
Then
I would step on them, I would burn them completely.
5
Or let him rely on My protection, Let him make peace with Me, Let him make peace with Me.
6
In the days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will blossom and sprout, And they will fill the whole world with fruit.
7
Like the striking of Him who has struck them, has He struck them? Or like the slaughter of His slain, have they been slain?
8
You contended with them by banishing them, by driving them away. With His fierce wind He has expelled
them
on the day of the east wind.
9
Therefore through this Jacobs iniquity will be forgiven; And this will be the full price of the pardoning of his sin: When he makes all the altar stones like pulverized chalk stones;
When
Asherim and incense altars will not stand.
10
For the fortified city is isolated, A homestead forlorn and forsaken like the desert; There the calf will graze, And there it will lie down and feed on its branches.
11
When its limbs are dry, they are broken off; Women come
and
make a fire with them, For they are not a people of discernment, Therefore their Maker will not have compassion on them. And their Creator will not be gracious to them.
12
In that day the L
ORD
will start
His
threshing from the flowing stream of the Euphrates to the brook of Egypt, and you will be gathered up one by one, O sons of Israel.
13
It will come about also in that day that a great trumpet will be blown, and those who were perishing in the land of Assyria and who were scattered in the land of Egypt will come and worship the L
ORD
in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
