Today’s Daily Devotions : I, The Lord, Watch Over It; I Water It Continually.I Guard It Day And Night So That No One May Harm It

Isaiah 27

Deliverance of Israel
27 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?

8 By warfare and exile you contend with her—
with his fierce blast he drives her out, as on a day the east wind blows.

9 By this, then, will Jacob’s guilt be atoned for, and this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin: When he makes all the altar stones to be like limestone crushed to pieces, no Asherah poles or incense altars will be left standing.

10 The fortified city stands desolate,
an abandoned settlement, forsaken like the wilderness; there the calves graze, there they lie down; they strip its branches bare
