Isaiah 27:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 I, the Lord, am its keeper,
I water it every moment;
Lest anyone harm it,
night and day I guard it.(A)
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.(B)
5 But if it holds fast to my refuge,
it shall have peace with me;(C)
it shall have peace with me.
