Isaiah 27

Ottley(i) 1 In that day shall God bring his sword, the holy, and great, and strong, against the dragon, the serpent that fleeth, against the dragon, the crooked serpent, and shall slay the dragon. 2 In that day (shall there be) a fair vineyard; (there is) a desire to begin (a song) upon her. 3 I am a strong city, a city besieged; in vain shall I water it; for it shall be taken by night, but by day shall the wall fall. 4 There is none but she laid hold upon her; who shall set me to guard a reed in a field? because of this enemy's land have I set her at nought. Therefore for this cause hath the Lord God done all things that he appointed. I am burnt up, 5 They that dwell in her shall cry: Let us make peace with him, let us make peace. 6 They that come, the children of Jacob shall bud, and Israel shall blossom, and the world shall be filled with the fruit. 7 Shall it be that, as he himself smote, he also shall be stricken; and as himself slew, so he shall be slain? 8 Fighting and reproaching, he shall send them forth: wast thou not he that devised, with thy harsh spirit, to slay them with a spirit of wrath? 9 Therefore shall the transgression of Jacob be taken away, and this is his blessing, when I have taken away his sin, when I have laid all the stones of the altars in fragments, as light dust; and their trees shall not remain, and their idols, destroyed as a forest (reaching) far. 10 The fold that is inhabited shall be left deserted, like an abandoned fold; and it shall be a feeding place for long time, and there shall they rest. 11 And after a time there shall not be in her any green thing, because of its drying up. Ye women that come from a spectacle, come hither; for it is not a people that hath understanding; therefore he that made them shall not pity, nor shall he that formed them have mercy. 12 And it shall be in that day, the Lord shall fence them in from the channel of the river unto Rhinocolura; and ye, gather together one by one the children of Israel. 13 And it shall be in that day, they shall blow with the great trumpet, and they shall come, [[that perished]] in the land of the Assyrians, and they that perished in Egypt, and shall (come to) worship the Lord at the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
