¹ In that day the LORD with His sore and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the slant serpent, and leviathan the tortuous serpent; and He will slay the dragon that is in the sea. ² In that day sing ye of her: 'A vineyard of foaming wine!'³ I the LORD do guard it, I water it every moment; lest Mine anger visit it, I guard it night and day.⁴ Fury is not in Me; would that I were as the briers and thorns in flame! I would with one step burn it altogether.⁵ Or else let him take hold of My strength, that he may make peace with Me; yea, let him make peace with Me.⁶ In days to come shall Jacob take root, Israel shall blossom and bud; and the face of the world shall be filled with fruitage.

Or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that were slain by Him?⁸ In full measure, when Thou sendest her away, Thou dost contend with her; He hath removed her with His rough blast in the day of the east wind.⁹ Therefore by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be expiated, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in pieces, so that the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more.¹⁰ For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation abandoned and forsaken, like the wilderness; there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.¹¹ When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off; the women shall come, and set them on fire; for it is a people of no understanding; therefore He that made them will not have compassion upon them, and He that formed them will not be gracious unto them. ¹² And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD will beat off [His fruit] from the flood of the River unto the Brook of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel. ¹³ And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great horn shall be blown; and they shall come that were lost in the land of Assyria, and they that were dispersed in the land of Egypt; and they shall worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
