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.

1到那日，耶和华必用他坚硬锐利的大刀惩罚力威亚探⚓，就是那爬得快的蛇，惩罚力威亚探，就是那弯弯曲曲的蛇，并杀死海里的大鱼。
2当那日，你们要唱这美好⚓葡萄园的歌：
3“我－耶和华看守葡萄园，按时灌溉，
昼夜看守，免得有人损害。
4我心中不存愤怒。
惟愿在战争中我有荆棘和蒺藜，
我就起步攻击他，
把他一同焚烧；
5或者让他紧靠我，以我为避难所，
与我和好，
与我和好。”
6将来雅各要扎根，
以色列要发芽开花，
果实遍满地面。
7耶和华击打以色列，
岂像击打那些击打他们的人吗？
以色列被杀戮，
岂像其他人所遭遇的杀戮吗？
8你驱赶他们，放逐他们，
与他们相争。
在刮东风的日子，
他以暴风赶逐他们。
9所以，雅各的罪孽藉此得赦免，
除罪的效果尽在乎此；
他使祭坛的石头变为粉碎的石灰，
使亚舍拉和香坛不再立起。
10因为坚固的城变为荒凉，
成了被撇弃的居所，像旷野一样；
牛犊在那里吃草，
在那里躺卧，吃尽其中的树枝。
11它的枝条一枯干，就被折断，
妇女用以点火燃烧。
因为这百姓蒙昧无知，
所以，造他们的必不怜悯他们，
造成他们的也不施恩给他们。
12到那日， 以色列人哪，耶和华必像人打树拾果一般，从大河的支流，直到埃及的溪谷，将你们一一收集。
13当那日，号角大响；在亚述地将亡的，与被赶散至埃及地的，都要前来，在耶路撒冷圣山上敬拜耶和华。
