1 IN that day the LORD with his hard 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. In that day the LORD with his hard and great and strong sword will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan the twisting serpent, and he will slay the dragon that is in the sea. In that day, the LORD will punish with his sword— his fierce, great and powerful sword— Leviathan the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent; he will slay the monster of the sea.
2 In that day sing to Israel of a vineyard of wine. In that day, “A pleasant vineyard, sing of it! In that day— “Sing about a fruitful vineyard:
3 I the LORD do keep it; I will water it continually; I will visit it and keep it night and day. I, the LORD, am its keeper; every moment I water it. Lest anyone punish it, I keep it night and day; I, the LORD, watch over it; I water it continually. I guard it day and night so that no one may harm it.
4 You have no hedge; who then did set in you the briers and the thorns? I will blow at the vineyard from near and will burn it together. I have no wrath. Would that I had thorns and briers to battle! I would march against them, I would burn them up together. I am not angry. If only there were briers and thorns confronting me! I would march against them in battle; I would set them all on fire.
5 Or let Israel take hold of my strength, and I will make peace for him, peace will I give him. Or let them lay hold of my protection, let them make peace with me, let them make peace with me.” Or else let them come to me for refuge; let them make peace with me, yes, let them make peace with me.”
6 He shall cause those that come of Jacob to take root; Israel shall blossom and bud and fill the face of the world with fruit. In days to come Jacob shall take root, Israel shall blossom and put forth shoots and fill the whole world with fruit. In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit.
7 Has the LORD smitten the oppressor as he smote those who smote him? Or is he slain according to the slaughter of those who are slain by him? Has he struck them as he struck those who struck them? Or have they been slain as their slayers were slain? Has the LORD struck her as he struck down those who struck her? Has she been killed as those were killed who killed her?
8 In measure by which he has measured, will you judge him; in that which he has devised, in fierce anger on a day of blasting heat. Measure by measure, by exile you contended with them; he removed them with his fierce breath in the day of the east wind. By warfare and exile you contend with her— with his fierce blast he drives her out, as on a day the east wind blows.
9 By this, therefore, shall the iniquity of Jacob be forgiven; and with all this fruit his sin will be taken away; when he makes all the stones of the altar as chalk-stones that are broken in pieces; likewise, the images and idols shall not stand up. Therefore by this the guilt of Jacob will be atoned for, and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin: when he makes all the stones of the altars like chalkstones crushed to pieces, no Asherim or incense altars will remain standing. By this, then, will Jacob’s guilt be atoned for, and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin: When he makes all the altar stones to be like limestone crushed to pieces, no Asherah poles or incense altars will be left standing.
10 For the strong city shall be forlorn and deserted and forsaken and left desolate like a wilderness; there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down and consume its grass. For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness; there the calf grazes; there it lies down and strips its branches. The fortified city stands desolate, an abandoned settlement, forsaken like the wilderness; there the calves graze, there they lie down; they strip its branches bare.
11 When its boughs 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 who made them will not have mercy on them, and he who formed them will show them no favor. When its boughs are dry, they are broken; women come and make a fire of them. For this is a people without discernment; therefore he who made them will not have compassion on them; he who formed them will show them no favor. When its twigs are dry, they are broken off and women come and make fires with them. For this is a people without understanding; so their Maker has no compassion on them, and their Creator shows them no favor.
12 And it shall come to pass in that day that the LORD shall stir up the people from the channel of the river Euphrates to the river of Egypt, and you shall be gathered one to another, O children of Israel! In that day from the river Euphrates to the Brook of Egypt the LORD will thresh out the grain, and you will be gleaned one by one, O people of Israel. In that day the LORD will thresh from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt, and you, Israel, will be gathered up one by one.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, the great trumpet shall be blown, and those who were lost in the land of Egypt and those who were scattered in the land of Assyria shall come in and worship the LORD in the land of the LORD, even on his holy mountain in Jerusalem. And in that day a great trumpet will be blown, and those who were lost in the land of Assyria and those who were driven out to the land of Egypt will come and worship the LORD on the holy mountain at Jerusalem. And in that day a great trumpet will sound. Those who were perishing in Assyria and those who were exiled in Egypt will come and worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
