¹In that day the Lord with His severe sword, great and strong,
Will punish Leviathan the fleeing serpent,
⚓Leviathan that twisted serpent;
And He will slay ⚓the reptile that is in the sea.

The Restoration of Israel

²In that day ⚓sing to her,
⚓“A vineyard of red wine!
³⚓I, the Lord, keep it,
I water it every moment;
Lest any hurt it,
I keep it night and day.
⁴Fury is not in Me.
Who would set ⚓briers and thorns
Against Me in battle?
I would go through them,
I would burn them together.
⁵Or let him take hold ⚓of My strength,
That he may ⚓make peace with Me;
And he shall make peace with Me.”
⁶Those who come He shall cause ⚓to take root in Jacob;
Israel shall blossom and bud,
And fill the face of the world with fruit.
⁷⚓Has He struck Israel as He struck those who struck him?
Or has He been slain according to the slaughter of those who were slain by Him?
⁸⚓In measure, by sending it away,
You contended with it.
⚓He removes it by His rough wind
In the day of the east wind.
⁹Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob will be covered;
And this is all the fruit of taking away his sin:
When he makes all the stones of the altar
Like chalkstones that are beaten to dust,
Wooden images and incense altars shall not stand.
¹⁰Yet the fortified city will be⚓desolate,
The habitation forsaken and left like a wilderness;
There the calf will feed, and there it will lie down
And consume its branches.
¹¹When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off;
The women come and set them on fire.
For ⚓it is a people of no understanding;
Therefore He who made them will ⚓not have mercy on them,
And ⚓He who formed them will show them no favor.
¹²And it shall come to pass in that day
That the Lord will thresh,
From the channel of the River to the Brook of Egypt;
And you will be ⚓gathered one by one,
O you children of Israel.
¹³⚓So it shall be in that day:
⚓The great trumpet will be blown;
They will come, who are about to perish in the land of Assyria,
And they who are outcasts in the land of ⚓Egypt,
And shall ⚓worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
