Isaiah 27:1-7 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. On that day,The Lord will punish with his swordthat is cruel, great, and strong,Leviathan the fleeing serpent,Leviathan the coiled serpent;he will slay the dragon in the sea.

2. On that day—The pleasant vineyard, sing about it!

3. I, the Lord, am its keeper,I water it every moment;Lest anyone harm it,night and day I guard it.

4. I am not angry.But if I were to find briers and thorns,In battle I would march against it;I would burn it all.

5. But if it holds fast to my refuge,it shall have peace with me;it shall have peace with me.

6. In days to come Jacob shall take root,Israel shall sprout and blossom,covering all the world with fruit.

7. Was he smitten as his smiter was smitten?Was he slain as his slayer was slain?
