1On that day, the Lord’s coming in hot with a savage sword to take down Leviathan, that sneaky serpent; he’s gonna slay the dragon chillin’ in the sea.

2On that day, vibe check and sing to her, “A vineyard of red wine, let’s go!”

3I, the Lord, got this on lock; I’m watering it 24/7, no cap: I’ll protect it day and night.

4Ain’t no fury in me: who’s bold enough to throw thorns at me? I’d just pop off and burn them all.

5Or let him grab my strength, so he can make peace with me; and he will for sure make peace with me.

6He’s gonna help Jacob’s crew take root: Israel’s about to blossom and fill the world with mad fruit.

7Did he hit him like he hit those who hit him? Or is he down like those who fell by his hand?

8When it shoots out, you’ll wanna debate it: he calms the rough winds when the east wind blows.

9This is how Jacob’s wrongs get cleared; it’s all about taking away the sin when he turns the altar stones into chalk, and the groves and idols won’t stand.

10But the defended city’s gonna be empty, left like a ghost town: the calf will chill there, laying down and munching on the branches.

11When the branches dry up, they’ll just break off: the ladies come and set them on fire; it’s a crew with no understanding, so the creator won’t show them mercy or favor.

12And on that day, the Lord’s gonna clear out from the river channel to the stream of Egypt, and you’ll be gathered one by one, O children of Israel.

13And on that day, the big trumpet’s gonna blast, and those ready to dip from Assyria and the outcasts in Egypt will come worship the Lord on the holy mount in Jerusalem.

1In that day the Lord with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea.

2In that day sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine.

3I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

4Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.

5Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.

6He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

7Hath he smitten him, as he smote those that smote him? or is he slain according to the slaughter of them that are slain by him?

8In measure, when it shooteth forth, thou wilt debate with it: he stayeth his rough wind in the day of the east wind.

9By this therefore shall the iniquity of Jacob be purged; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, the groves and images shall not stand up.

10Yet the defenced city shall be desolate, and the habitation forsaken, and left like a wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.

11When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off: the women come, and set them on fire: for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have mercy on them, and he that formed them will shew them no favour.

12And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.

13And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the Lord in the holy mount at Jerusalem.
