1 On that day the LORD will smite with the sword his sore and great and strong, Leviathan, serpent fleeing, and Leviathan, serpent, and leviathan.
2 In that day sing to him - beloved of the vineyard:
3 I, the Lord, his keeper, every moment watered it; night and day, he kept it to who have not rushed into it.
4 Fury is not in me. But if anyone opposed me [it] briers and thorns, I will go to war against it, set it on at all.
5 Let him take hold of my strength, make peace with me? and he shall make peace with me.
6 In the coming [days] Jacob will take root, blossom and bud give Israel; and be filled with the fruit of the universe.

7 Is He hit it like that smote him? I am killing him as killed to kill him?
8 Measure you punish him when he rejected; I threw him a strong blow to his in the day of the east wind.
9 Therefore by this the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and the result of this will take away his sin, when all the stones of the altar he shall turn in the lime pieces and will not stand the groves and idols of the sun.
10 For the fortified city is solitary, dwellings [are] forsaken, and left like a wilderness. There shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
eleven When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off; women come and set them on fire. Since this is a people of no understanding, do not take pity on him his Creator, and not have mercy on him his Maker.
12 But in that day the Lord will shake everything from the river unto the stream of Egypt, and you, the children of Israel, will be gathered one by one;
13 and will be in that day, that the great trumpet shall begin to sound, and come lost in the land of Assyria and those who are persecuted in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
