Isaiah 27:1-3
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 27
1 On that day,
the Lord will use his sword
that is cruel and great and strong
to punish Leviathan[a] the fleeing serpent,
Leviathan the writhing serpent,
and he will slay that dragon
that resides in the sea.
2 [b]On that day,
sing of the pleasant vineyard.
3 I, the Lord, am its keeper,
and I water it frequently
lest any harm come to it;
I guard it night and day.
