1In that day the LORD with His great and fierce and strong sword shall punish the sea monster, the darting serpent, the sea monster, that twisting serpent; and He shall kill the monster in the sea.

2In that day sing to her, "A delightful vineyard.

3I the LORD keep it; I will water it every moment; lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

4Fury is not in Me; who would set the briers and thorns against Me in battle? I would step through it; I would burn it at once.

5Or let them take hold of My strength, that he may make peace with Me; and he shall make peace with Me."

6He shall cause those who come from Jacob to take root; Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

7Has He stricken him, as He struck those who struck him? Is he slain according to the slaughter of those slain by Him?

8By driving her away, You contended with her; by sending her away, You punished her. He removed her by His rough blast, in the day of the east wind.

9By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin; when he makes all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in pieces, the groves and sun pillars shall not stand up.

10Yet the fortified city is desolate and the dwelling forsaken and left like a wilderness; there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down and eat up its branches.

11When its branches are dried up, they shall be broken off; the women come and set them on fire; for it is a people of no understanding. Therefore their Maker will not have mercy upon them, and He Who formed them will not favor them.

12And it shall come to pass, in that day the LORD shall thresh from the stream of the river Euphrates to the river of Egypt, and you shall be gathered one by one, O children of Israel. 13And it shall come to pass, in that day a great ram's horn shall be blown, and those perishing in the land of Assyria shall come, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt shall come and shall worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
