¹IN that day Yahvah with his hard and great and strong sword will punish Leviathan, the piercing serpent, even Leviathan that crooked serpent; and he will slay the dragon that is in the sea. ²In that day sing to Israel of a vineyard of wine. ³I Yahvah do keep it; I will water it continually; I will visit it and keep it night and day. ⁴You have no hedge; who then set in you the briers and the thorns? I will blow at the vineyard from near and will burn it together. ⁵Or let Israel take hold of my strength, and I will make peace for him, peace I will give him. ⁶He will cause those who come of Jacob to take root; Israel will blossom and bud and fill the face of the world with fruit.

⁷Has Yahvah struck the oppressor as he struck those who struck him? Or is he slain according to the slaughter of those who are slain by him? ⁸In measure by which he has measured, you will judge him; in that which he has devised, in fierce anger on a day of blasting heat. ⁹By this, therefore, the iniquity of Jacob will be forgiven; and with all this fruit his sin will be taken away; when he makes all the stones of the altar as chalk-stones that are broken in pieces; likewise, the images and idols will not stand up. ¹⁰For the strong city will be forlorn and deserted and forsaken and left desolate like a wilderness; there the calf will feed, and there he will lie down and consume its grass. 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 will come to pass in that day that Yahvah will stir up the people from the channel of the river Euphrates to the river of Egypt, and you will be gathered to each other, oh children of Israel. ¹³And it will come to pass in that day, the great trumpet will be blown, and those who were lost in the land of Egypt and those who were scattered in the land of Assyria will come in and worship Yahvah in the land of Yahvah, even on his holy mountain in Jerusalem.
