1. In that day the LORD with his keen 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.
2. In that day sing ye to her, A vineyard of red wine.
3. I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
4. Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
5. Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me, and he shall make peace with me.
6. He shall cause them that descend from Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
7. Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?
8. In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.
9. By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalk-stones that are beaten asunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.
