The Slaying of Leviathan and Israel's Restoration

Isaiah 27:1-13

27
Chapter 27
1 On that day the LORD will punish with his hard and great and strong sword Leviathan the fleeing serpent, Leviathan the twisted serpent, and he will kill the sea monster that is in the sea. 2 On that day: a delightful vineyard—sing to her. 3 I, the LORD, will keep her at every moment. I will water her, lest he visit upon her by night and by day. I will watch over her. 4 There is no wrath in me. Who will give me thorns and briers? I will set it ablaze in warfare. I will march through it; I will burn it up together. 5 Or let him strengthen himself in my stronghold; let him make peace with me; let him make peace with me. 6 Those coming will take root; Jacob will sprout and blossom, Israel, and they will fill the face of the land with divine provision/abundance. 7 Like the blow with which he struck him, did he strike him? Or like the killing with which he killed him, did he kill him? 8 In measure, when he sends her away, he contends with her; he meditates in his Spirit the harsh wind on the day of the east wind. 9 Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be atoned, and this is all the fruit of removing his sin offering: when it is burned, all the stones of the altar will be like crushed stones of chalk—not will stand the Asherim and the sun-images. 10 For the city fortified in isolation is a pasture for sending forth and abandoned like a wilderness: there a calf will graze, and there it will lie down, and it will consume her branches. 11 When its boughs are dry, women who come will break them, those who have lighted her. For it is not a people of wisdom; therefore its Maker will not have compassion on them, its Former will not grace them. 12 And it will be in that day that the LORD will thresh from the flood of the River to the stream of Egypt, and you will be gleaned one by one, O sons of Israel. 13 And it will be on that day: one will blow a great ram's horn, and the lost ones in the land of Assyria will come, and the driven-out ones in the land of Egypt, and they will prostrate themselves to the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
