Isaiah 27:3–7

TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together.
Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.
He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.
¶ Hath 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?
