| 1 | In 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. |
| 2 | In that day it will be said, A vine-garden of delight, make a song about it. |
| 3 | I, 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. |
| 4 | My passion is over: if the thorns were fighting against me, I would make an attack on them, and they would be burned up together. |
| 5 | Or let him put himself under my power, and make peace with me. |

| 12 | And 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. |
| 13 | And 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. |
