Isaiah 27:6-8

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ In days to come^[a] Jacob shall take root,
    Israel shall blossom and put forth shoots,
    and fill the whole world with fruit.

⁷ Has he smitten them as he smote those who smote them?
    Or have they been slain as their slayers were slain?
⁸ Measure by measure,^[b] by exile thou didst contend with them;
    he removed them with his fierce blast in the day of the east wind.
