Isaiah 27:2-8
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 27
2On that day, 'A vineyard of beauty, sing of it! 3I, the Lord, am its keeper; I water it every moment. So that no one will damage it, I guard it night and day. 4I have no wrath. Should someone give Me briars and thorns in battle, Then I would step on them, I would burn them completely. 5Or let him rely on My protection, Let him make peace with Me, Let him make peace with Me.' 6 In the days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will blossom and sprout, And they will fill the whole world with fruit. 7Like the striking of Him who has struck them, has He struck them? Or like the slaughter of His slain, have they been slain? 8You contended with them by banishing them, by driving them away. With His fierce wind He has expelled them on the day of the east wind.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 27
2On that day sing about a desirable vineyard: 3I am the Lord, who watches over it to water it regularly. So that no one disturbs it, I watch over it night and day. 4I am not angry. If only there were thorns and briers for me to battle, I would trample them and burn them to the ground. 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 blossom and bloom and fill the whole world with fruit.
7Did the Lord strike Israel as he struck the one who struck Israel? Was Israel killed like those killed by the Lord?
8You disputed with Israel by banishing and driving her away. He removed her with his severe storm on the day of the east wind.
New Living Translation
Chapter 27
2'In that day, sing about the fruitful vineyard. 3I, the Lord, will watch over it, watering it carefully. Day and night I will watch so no one can harm it. 4My anger will be gone. If I find briers and thorns growing, I will attack them; I will burn them up — 5unless they turn to me for help. Let them make peace with me; yes, let them make peace with me.' 6The time is coming when Jacob’s descendants will take root. Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole earth with fruit!English Standard Version
Chapter 27
2In that day, "A pleasant vineyard, sing of it! 3I, the Lord, am its keeper; every moment I water it. Lest anyone punish it, I keep it night and day; 4I have no wrath. Would that I had thorns and briers to battle! I would march against them, I would burn them up together. 5Or let them lay hold of my protection, let them make peace with me, let them make peace with me." 6 In days to come Jacob shall take root, Israel shall blossom and put forth shoots and fill the whole world with fruit. 7 Has he struck them as he struck those who struck them? Or have they been slain as their slayers were slain? 8 Measure by measure, by exile you contended with them; he removed them with his fierce breath in the day of the east wind.New International Version
Chapter 27
2In that day— "Sing about a fruitful vineyard: 3I, the Lord, watch over it; I water it continually. I guard it day and night so that no one may harm 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.
6In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the 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?
8By warfare and exile you contend with her— with his fierce blast he drives her out, as on a day the east wind blows.
