Isaiah 26:20-Isaiah 27:6 - Judgment: Reward Or Punishment

²⁰ Go, my people, enter your rooms
and close your doors behind you.
Hide for a little while until the wrath has passed.
²¹ For look, the Lord is coming from His place
to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity.
The earth will reveal the blood shed on it
and will no longer conceal her slain.

¹ On that day the Lord with His harsh, great, and strong sword, will bring judgment on Leviathan, the fleeing serpent—Leviathan, the twisting serpent. He will slay the monster that is in the sea.

² On that day
sing about a desirable vineyard:
³ I, Yahweh, watch over it;
I water it regularly.
I guard it night and day
so that no one disturbs it.
⁴ I am not angry,
but if it produces thorns and briers for Me,
I will fight against it, trample it,
and burn it to the ground.
⁵ Or let it take hold of My strength;
let it make peace with Me—
make peace with Me.
⁶ In days to come, Jacob will take root.
Israel will blossom and bloom
and fill the whole world with fruit.
