The Prophecy
of Isaias 27
In that day the Lord with his hard, and great, and strong
sword shall visit leviathan the bar serpent, and leviathan
the crooked serpent, and shall slay the whale that is
in the see.
In that day there shall be singing to the vineyard of
pure wine.
I am the Lord that keep it, I will suddenly give it
drink: lest any hurt come to it, I keep it night and
day.
There is no indignation in m: who shall make me a thorn
and a brier in battle: shall march against it, shall
I set it on fire together?
Or rather shall it take hold of my strength, shall it
make peace with me, shall it make peace with me?
When they shall rush in unto Jacob, Israel shall blossom
and bud, and they shall fill the face of the world with
seed.
Hath he struck him according to the stroke of him that
struck him? or is he slain, as he killed them that were
slain by him?
In measure against measure, when it shall be cast off,
thou shalt judge it. He hath meditated with his severe
spirit in the day of heat.
Therefore upon this shall the iniquity of the house
of Jacob be forgiven: and this is all the fruit, that
the sin thereof should be taken away, when he shall
have made all the stones of the altar, as burnt stones
broken in pieces, the groves and temples shall not stand.
For the strong city shall be desolate, the beautiful
city shall be forsaken, and shall be left as a wilderness
: there the calf shall feed, and there shall he lie
down, and shall consume its branches.
Its harvest shall be destroyed with drought, women shall
come and teach it: for it is not a wise people, therefore
he that made it, shall not have mercy on it: and he
that formed it, shall not spare it.
And it shall come to pass, that in that day the Lord
will strike from the channel of the river even to the
torrent of Egypt, and you shall be gathered together
one by one, O ye children of Israel.
And it shall come to pass, that in that day a noise
shall be made with a great trumpet, and they that were
lost, shall come from the land of the Assyrians, and
they that were outcasts in the land of Egypt, and they
shall adore the Lord in the holy mount in Jerusalem. |
