NIV Parallel HCSB [BSB CSB ESV HCS KJV ISV NAS NET NIV NLT HEB]
New International VersionHolman Christian Standard Bible
1In 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.1On that day the LORD with His harsh, great, and strong sword, will bring judgment on Leviathan, the fleeing serpent--Leviathan, the twisting serpent. He will slay the monster that is in the sea.
2In that day-- "Sing about a fruitful vineyard:2On that day sing about a desirable vineyard:
3I, the LORD, watch over it; I water it continually. I guard it day and night so that no one may harm it.3I, Yahweh, watch over it; I water it regularly. I guard it night and day so that no one disturbs it.
4I 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.4I am not angry, but if it produces thorns and briers for Me, I will fight against it, trample it, and burn it to the ground.
5Or else let them come to me for refuge; let them make peace with me, yes, let them make peace with me."5Or let it take hold of My strength; let it make peace with Me-- make peace with Me.
6In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit.6In days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will blossom and bloom and fill the whole world with fruit.
7Has the LORD struck her as he struck down those who struck her? Has she been killed as those were killed who killed her?7Did the LORD strike Israel as He struck the one who struck Israel? Was he killed like those killed by Him?
8By warfare and exile you contend with her-- with his fierce blast he drives her out, as on a day the east wind blows.8You disputed with her by banishing and driving her away. He removed her with His severe storm on the day of the east wind.
9By 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.9Therefore Jacob's iniquity will be purged in this way, and the result of the removal of his sin will be this: when he makes all the altar stones like crushed bits of chalk, no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
10The fortified city stands desolate, an abandoned settlement, forsaken like the wilderness; there the calves graze, there they lie down; they strip its branches bare.10For the fortified city will be deserted, pastures abandoned and forsaken like a wilderness. Calves will graze there, and there they will spread out and strip its branches.
11When 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.11When its branches dry out, they will be broken off. Women will come and make fires with them, for they are not a people with understanding. Therefore their Maker will not have compassion on them, and their Creator will not be gracious to them.
12In 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.12On that day the LORD will thresh grain from the Euphrates River as far as the Wadi of Egypt, and you Israelites will be gathered one by one.
13And 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.13On that day a great trumpet will be blown, and those lost in the land of Assyria will come, as well as those dispersed in the land of Egypt; and they will worship the LORD at Jerusalem on the holy mountain.
