Isaiah 27:4-8
4
I am not angry.
If only there were briers and thorns confronting me!
I would march against them in battle;
I would set them all on fire.
5
Or else let them come to me for refuge;
let them make peace with me,
yes, let them make peace with me.”
6
In days to come Jacob will take root,
Israel will bud and blossom
and fill all the world with fruit.
7
Has the Lord struck her
as he struck down those who struck her?
Has she been killed
as those were killed who killed her?
8
By warfare and exile you contend with her—
with his fierce blast he drives her out,
as on a day the east wind blows.
