KJ3 Literal Translation
Isaiah 27
The care of Jehovah over His vineyard. His chastisements differ from judgments. The sons of the Jews and the nations.
1In that day Jehovah will call to account the sea monster, the darting serpent, with His great and fierce and strong sword; and the fleeing serpent, on the sea monster, the crooked serpent; and He shall slay the monster that is in the sea.
2In that day sing to it, A vineyard of desire;
3I, Jehovah, keep it; I will water it every moment, lest one injure it; I will guard it night and day.
4Fury is not to Me. Who will give Me briers and thorns in the battle? I will step through it; I would burn it at once.
5Or will he lay hold of My strength that he may make peace with Me? Let him make peace with Me.
6In the coming days Jacob will take root; Israel shall blossom and bud, and they will fill the face of the world with fruit.
7As the wound of the wounded did He strike him? Or as the slaughter of them slain by Him, is he slain?
8You will contend with her by driving her away, by sending her away. He shall take away by His harsh wind, in the day of the east wind.
9By this, then, the iniquity of Jacob will be covered, and this is all the fruit, to take away his sin; when he makes all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in pieces; Asherahs and sun pillars shall not rise.
10For the fortified city shall be lonely, a forsaken pasture, left alone and forsaken like a wilderness. The calf shall feed there, and he shall lie there and eat up its branches.
11When its boughs dry up, they are broken off. Women shall come and kindle them, for it is not a people of discernment. On account of this his Maker will not pity him, and his Former will not favor him.
12And it shall be in that day, Jehovah shall thresh from the stream of the River to the torrent of Egypt; and you shall be gathered one by one, sons of Israel.
13And it shall be in that day, the great rams` horn shall be blown; and those perishing in the land of Assyria and the outcasts in the land of Egypt shall come and shall worship Jehovah in the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
