In taht day, the LORD will punish with his sword, his fierce great and powerful sword, Leviathan the gliding serpent; he will slay the monster of the sea.
In that day- "Sing about a fruitful vineyard:
I, the LORD ,watch over it; I water it continually, I guard it day and night so that no one may harm it.
I am not angry..If only there were briers and thorns confrontiing me! I would set them all onfire.
Or else let them come to me for refuge; let them make peace with me, yer, let them make peace with me."
In days to come Jacob will take root, Isreael will bud and blossom and fill all the the world with fruit.
Has, the LORD, struck her as he struck down those who struck her?-Has she been killed as those were killed who killed her?
By warfare and exile you contend with her- with his fierce blast he drives her out, as on a day the east wind blows
By this, then, will Jacob's guilt be atoned for, and this will be the full truitage of the removal of his sin; When he makes all the altar stones to be like challk stones crushed to pierces, no a sherah poles or incense aktars will be left standing.
The fortified city stands desolate. an anandoned settlement, forsaken like the desert, there the calves graze; there they lie down; they strip its branckjes bare.
When its twigs are dry, they are broken off and women come and make fires with them, Forn this is a people without understanding; so their Maker has no compassion on them. and their Creator showns them no favor.
In that day the LORD will thruesh from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt, and you, O Israelites,will be gathered up one by one.
And in that day a great trumpet will sound. Those who were perishing in Assyria and those who were exiled in Egypot will come and worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
Isaiah 28
Woe to that wreath, the pride of Ephrain drunkds, to the fading flower, his glorious beauty, set on the head of a fertile valley-to that city, the pride of those laid low by wine!
See, the Lord has one who os powerful and strong. Like a hailstorm and a destructive wind , like a driving rain and a flooding downpour, he will throw it forcefully to the ground.
That werath, the pride of Epharaim's drinkards, will be trampled underfoot. wreath. for the remnant of his people.
Tht fading flower, his glorious beauty, set on the head of a fertile valley, will be like a fig ripe before harvest. as soons someone sees it and takes it in gis habd, he swallows it.
In that day the LORD Almighty; will be a glorious crown, a beautiful
He will be a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment a source of strength to those who turn backs the battle at the gate.
And these alsp stagger from wine and reel from beer; priests and prophets stagger from beer and are befuddied with wine, they reel from heer, they stumble when rendering decisions
All the tables are covered with vomit and there is not a spot without filth,
"Who is it he trying to teach: To whom is he explaining his message? To children weaned from their milk, to those just taken from the breast?
For it is: Do and do, do and do, rule on rule, rule on rule" a little here, a little, there"
Very well them, with foreign lips and strange tongues God will speak to his people.
to whom he said, "This is the resting place, let the weary rest," and,"This is the place of repose:- but they would not listen
So then, the word of the LORD to them will become; Do and do, do and do,rule on rule, rule on rule, a little here, a little there"So that they will go and fall backward, be injured and snared and captured.
Therefore hear the word of the LORD, you scoffers who rule this people in Jerusalem.
You boast,"We have entered into a covenant with death, with th gave we have made an agreement. When an overwhelming scourge sweeps by, a cannot touch us.for we have made a lie our refuge and falsehood our hiding place."
So this is what the Sovereign LORD says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion,a tested stone, a precious comerstone for a sure foundation; the one who trusts will never be dismayed.
I will make justice the measuring line; and righteousness the plumb line; hail will sweep away your refuge, the lie, and water will overflow your hidding place.
Your covernant witj death will be annulled, your agreement with the grave will not stand. When the overwhelming scourge sweeps by, you will be beatebn down by it.
As often as it comes it will carry you away; morning after morning , by day and by rights, it will sweep through." The understanding of this message will bring sheer terror.
The bed is too short to stretch iut on, the blanket too narrow to wrap around you.
The LORD will rise up as he did at Mount Oerazim, he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gibeon. he will rouse himself as in the Valley of Gineon=-to do his work, his strange work, and perform his task, his alien task;
Now stop your mocking, or your chains will become heavier, the Lord, the LORD Almighty, has told me of the destruction decreed against the whole land
Listen and hear my voice; pay attention and hear what I say.
When a farmer plows for planting, does he plow continually? Does he keep on breaking up and harrowing the soil?
When he has leveled the surface, does he not sow caraway and scattler cummin? Does he not plant wheat in its place, barket in its plot, and spept in its field?
His God instructs him and teaches him the right way.
Caraway is not threshed with a sledge, nor is a cartwheel rolled over cummin; caraway is beaten out with a rod, and cummin with a stick
Grain must be ground to make bread; so one not go on threshing it forever. Though he drives the wheels of his threshing cart ove it, his horses do not grind it.
All this also comes from the LORD Almighty, wonderful in counsel and magnificent in wisdom.
