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?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.11 When its twigs are dry, they are broken off and women come and make fires with them. For this is a people without understanding; so their Maker has no compassion on them, and their Creator shows them no favor.12 In that day the LORD will thresh from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt, and you, Israel, will be gathered up one by one.13 And in that day a great trumpet will sound. Those who were perishing in Assyria and those who were exiled in Egypt will come and worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
1 [In die illa visitabit Dominusin gladio suo duro, et grandi, et forti,super Leviathan, serpentem vectem,et super Leviathan, serpentem tortuosum,et occidet cetum qui in mari est.2 In die illa vinea meri cantabit ei.3 Ego Dominus qui servo eam ;repente propinabo ei.Ne forte visitetur contra eam,nocte et die servo eam.4 Indignatio non est mihi.Quis dabit me spinam et veprem in prlio ?gradiar super eam,succendam eam pariter.5 An potius tenebit fortitudinem meam ?faciet pacem mihi,pacem faciet mihi.6 Qui ingrediuntur impetu ad Jacob,florebit et germinabit Isral,et implebunt faciem orbis semine.7 Numquid juxta plagam percutientis se percussit eum ?aut sicut occidit interfectos ejus, sic occisus est ?8 In mensura contra mensuram,cum abjecta fuerit, judicabis eam ;meditatus est in spiritu suo duroper diem stus.9 Idcirco super hoc dimittetur iniquitas domui Jacob ;et iste omnis fructus : ut auferatur peccatum ejus,cum posuerit omnes lapides altarissicut lapides cineris allisos :non stabunt luci et delubra.10 Civitas enim munita desolata erit ;speciosa relinquetur, et dimittetur quasi desertum ;ibi pascetur vitulus,et ibi accubabit, et consumet summitates ejus.11 In siccitate messes illius conterentur.Mulieres venientes, et docentes eam ;non est enim populus sapiens :propterea non miserebitur ejus qui fecit eum,et qui formavit eum non parcet ei.12 Et erit : in die illapercutiet Dominusab alveo fluminis usque ad torrentem gypti ;et vos congregabimini unus et unus, filii Isral.13 Et erit : in die illa clangetur in tuba magna ;et venient qui perditi fuerant de terra Assyriorum,et qui ejecti erant in terra gypti,et adorabunt Dominumin monte sancto in Jerusalem.]
