1. In that day, the Lord will punish with his sword— his fierce, great and powerful sword— Leviathan the gliding serpent, Leviathan the coiling serpent; he will slay the monster of the sea.
2. In that day— “Sing about a fruitful vineyard:
3. I, the Lord, watch over it; I water it continually. I guard it day and night so that no one may harm it.
4. I am not angry. If only there were briers and thorns confronting me! I would march against them in battle; I would set them all on fire.
5. Or else let them come to me for refuge; let them make peace with me, yes, let them make peace with me.”
6. In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit.
7. Has the Lord struck her as he struck down those who struck her? Has she been killed as those were killed who killed her?
