¹ In that day Jehovah shall visit the sea monster, the darting serpent, with His great and fierce and strong sword; even on the sea monster, the twisting serpent; and He shall slay the monster that is in the sea.

² In that day sing to it, A vineyard of desire;

³ I, Jehovah, keep it; I will water it every moment, that no one punish it; I will guard it night and day.

⁴ Fury is not in Me. Who will give Me briers and thorns in the battle? I will step through it; I would burn it at once.

⁵ Or will he lay hold of My strength that he may make peace with Me? Let him make peace with Me.

⁶ Those who come to Jacob, He shall make take root. Israel shall blossom and bud and fill the face of the world with fruit.

⁷ As the striking of His striker, did He strike him? Or as the slaying of His slain, is he slain?

⁸ You will contend with her by driving her away, by sending her away. He shall take away by His harsh wind, in the day of the east wind.

⁹ By this, then, the iniquity of Jacob will be covered, and this is all the fruit, to take away his sin; when he makes all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in pieces; Asherahs and sun pillars shall not rise.

¹⁰ For the fortified city shall be lonely, a forsaken pasture, and left like a wilderness. The calf shall feed there, and he shall lie there, and eat up its branches.

¹¹ When its boughs dry up, they are broken off. Women shall come and burn them, for it is a people with no understanding. On account of this His Maker shall not pity him, and His Former will not favor him.

¹² And it shall be in that day, Jehovah shall thresh from the channel of the River to the torrent of Egypt; and you shall be gathered one by one, sons of Israel.

¹³ And it shall be in that day, the great ram's horn shall be blown; and those perishing in the land of Assyria and the outcasts in the land of Egypt shall come and shall worship Jehovah in the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
