Isaiah 27:5 CPDV

³  I am the Lord, who watches over it. I will suddenly give drink to it. I will watch over it, night and day, lest perhaps someone visit against it.

⁴  Indignation is not mine. Who will be a thorn and a brier to me in battle? I will advance against them. I set them on fire together.

⁵  Or will he, instead, take hold of my strength? Will he make peace with me? Will she make peace with me?

⁶  As they advance with violence against Jacob, Israel will flourish and spring forth, and they will fill the face of the world with offspring.

⁷  Has he struck him with the scourge that he himself used to strike others? Or has he killed in the manner that he himself used to kill his victims?
