1 In that day the Lord with His fierce and greatand strong sword shall punishLeviathan the fleeing serpent,even Leviathan the twisted serpent;and He shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.
2 In that day: Sing of it! A vineyard of red wine.
3 I, the Lord, am its keeper;I water it every moment;lest anyone damage it,I protect it night and day.
4 I have no fury.Should someone give Me briers and thorns in battle,then I would step on them,I would burn them fully.
5 Or let him rely on My strength;let him make peace with Me;let him make peace with Me.
6 In the days to come Jacob shall take root;Israel shall blossom and budand shall fill the whole world with fruit.
7 Has He struck them,as He struck those who struck them?Or like the slaughter of His slain,have they been slain?
