Isaías 27
Bible in Basic English
1In that day the Lord, with his great and strong and cruel sword, will send punishment on Leviathan, the quick-moving snake, and on Leviathan, the twisted snake; and he will put to death the dragon which is in the sea.
2In that day it will be said, A vine-garden of delight, make a song about it.
3I, the Lord, am watching it; I will give it water at all times: I will keep it night and day, for fear that any damage comes to it.
4My passion is over: if the thorns were fighting against me, I would make an attack on them, and they would be burned up together.
5Or let him put himself under my power, and make peace with me.
6In days to come Jacob will take root: Israel will put out buds and flowers; and the face of the world will be full of fruit.
7Is his punishment like the punishment of those who overcame him? or are his dead as great in number as those he put to the sword?
8Your anger against her has been made clear by driving her away; he has taken her away with his storm-wind in the day of his east wind.
9So by this will the sin of Jacob be covered, and this is all the fruit of taking away his punishment; when all the stones of the altar are crushed together, so that the wood pillars and the sun-images will not be put up again.
10For the strong town is without men, an unpeopled living-place; and she has become a waste land: there the young ox will take his rest, and its branches will be food for him.
11When its branches are dry they will be broken off; the women will come and put fire to them: for it is a foolish people; for this cause he who made them will have no mercy on them, and he whose work they are will not have pity on them.
12And it will be in that day that the Lord will get together his grain, from the River to the stream of Egypt, and you will be got together with care, O children of Israel.
13And it will be in that day that a great horn will be sounded; and those who were wandering in the land of Assyria, and those who had been sent away into the land of Egypt, will come; and they will give worship to the Lord in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.
Reina-Valera 1909
1EN aquel día Jehová visitará con su espada dura, grande y fuerte, sobre leviathán, serpiente rolliza, y sobre leviathán serpiente retuerta; y matará al dragón que está en la mar.
2En aquel día cantad de la viña del vino rojo.
3Yo Jehová la guardo, cada momento la regaré; guardaréla de noche y de día, porque nadie la visite.
4No hay en mí enojo. ¿Quién pondrá contra mí en batalla espinas y cardos? Yo los hollaré, quemarélos juntamente.
5¿O forzará alguien mi fortaleza? Haga conmigo paz, sí, haga paz conmigo.
6Días vendrán cuando Jacob echará raíces, florecerá y echará renuevos Israel, y la haz del mundo se henchirá de fruto.
7¿Acaso ha sido herido como quien lo hirió? ¿ó ha sido muerto como los que lo mataron?
8Con medida la castigarás en sus vástagos. El reprime su recio viento en el día del aire solano.
9De esta manera pues será purgada la iniquidad de Jacob; y éste será todo el fruto, la remoción de su pecado, cuando tornare todas las piedras del altar como piedras de cal desmenuzadas, y no se levantarán los bosques, ni las imágenes del sol.
10Porque la ciudad fortalecida será asolada, la morada será desamparada y dejada como un desierto: allí se apacentará el becerro, allí tendrá su majada, y acabará sus ramas.
11Cuando sus ramas se secaren, serán quebradas; mujeres vendrán á encenderlas: porque aquél no es pueblo de entendimiento; por tanto su Hacedor no tendrá de él misericordia, ni se compadecerá de él el que lo formó.
12Y acontecerá en aquel día, que herirá Jehová desde el álveo del río hasta el torrente de Egipto, y vosotros, hijos de Israel, seréis reunidos uno á uno.
13Acontecerá también en aquel día, que se tañerá con gran trompeta, y vendrán los que habían sido esparcidos en la tierra de Asiria, y los que habían sido echados en tierra de Egipto, y adorarán á Jehová en el monte santo, en Jerusalem.
King James Version
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.

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.
