CHAP. XXVII.
The punishment of the oppressors
of God's people. The
Lord's favour to his church.
1 In that day the Lord with
his hard, and great, and
strong sword shall visit note
Leviathan the bar serpent,
and Leviathan the crooked
serpent, and shall slay the
whale that is in the sea.
2 In that day there shall
be singing to note the vineyard
of pure wine.
3 I am the Lord that keep
it, note I will suddenly give
it drink: lest any hurt come
to it, I keep it, night and
day.
4 There is note no indignation
in me: who shall
make me a thorn and a
brier in battle: shall I march
-- --
against it, shall I set it on
fire together?
5 Or rather shall it take
hold of my strength, shall
it make peace with me, shall
it make peace with me?
6 noteWhen they shall
rush in unto Jacob, Israel
shall blossom and bud, and
they shall fill the face of the
world with seed.
7 noteHath 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?
8 In measure against
measure, note when it shall be
cast off, thou shalt judge it.
noteHe hath meditated with
his severe spirit in the day
of heat.
9 Therefore upon this
shall the iniquity note 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.
10 For note 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.
11 Its harvests 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.
12 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.
13 And it shall come to
pass, that in that day a noise
shall be made with note a great
trumpet, and they that were
lost, shall come from the land
of the Assyrians, and they that
were out-casts, in the land of
Egypt, and they shall adore
the Lord in the holy mount
in Jerusalem.
