Isaiah 27  Legacy Standard Bible

² In that day,
“A ^[e](D)vineyard of delight, sing of it!
³ I, Yahweh, am its keeper;
^(E)I water it every moment.
Lest anyone ^[f]damage it,
I ^(F)keep it night and day.
⁴ I have no wrath.
Who would ever give Me ^(G)briars and thorns in the battle?
I would step on them, ^(H)I would burn them ^[g]completely.
⁵ Or let him ^[h](I)rely on My strong defense,
Let him make peace with Me,
Let him ^(J)make peace with Me.”
^6 [i]In the days to come Jacob ^(K)will take root,
Israel will ^(L)blossom and bud,
And they will fill the ^[j]whole world with ^(M)produce.

⁷ Like the striking of Him who has struck them, has ^(N)He struck them?
Or like the slaughter of those of His who were killed, ^[k]have they been killed?
⁸ You contended with them ^[l]by driving them away, by ^(O)making them forlorn.
With His fierce wind He has expelled them on the day of the ^(P)east wind.
⁹ Therefore through this, Jacob’s iniquity will be ^(Q)atoned for;
And this will be the whole fruit of the ^(R)turning away of his sin:
When he makes all the ^(S)altar stones like pulverized chalk stones,
When ^[m]Asherim and incense altars will not stand.
¹⁰ For the fortified city is ^(T)isolated,
A ^[n]haunt ^[o]forlorn and forsaken like the desert;
^(U)There the calf will graze,
And there it will lie down and ^[p]feed on its twigs.
¹¹ When its ^(V)limbs are dry, they are broken off;
Women come and light a fire with them,
For they are not a people of ^(W)discernment,
Therefore ^(X)their Maker ^(Y)will not have compassion on them.
And their Creator will not be gracious to them.
