Isaiah 27:1

¹⁶For the LORD will execute judgment by fire and by his sword on all flesh; and those slain by the LORD will be many.

⁹Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of the LORD! Awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Isn’t it you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?

³Speak and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster that lies in the middle of his rivers, that has said, ‘My river is my own, and I have made it for myself.’

²⁶There the ships go, and leviathan, whom you formed to play there.

²He seized the dragon, the old serpent, who is the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole inhabited earth,^[+] and bound him for a thousand years,

¹³By his Spirit the heavens are garnished. His hand has pierced the swift serpent.

¹³You divided the sea by your strength. You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters. ¹⁴You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces. You gave him as food to people and desert creatures.

²¹The rest were killed with the sword of him who sat on the horse, the sword which came out of his mouth. So all the birds were filled with their flesh.

²“Son of man, take up a lamentation over Pharaoh king of Egypt, and tell him, ‘You were likened to a young lion of the nations; yet you are as a monster in the seas. You broke out with your rivers, and troubled the waters with your feet, and fouled their rivers.’” ³The Lord GOD says: “I will spread out my net on you with a company of many peoples. They will bring you up in my net. ⁴I will leave you on the land. I will cast you out on the open field, and will cause all the birds of the sky to settle on you. I will satisfy the animals of the whole earth with you. ⁵I will lay your flesh on the mountains, and fill the valleys with your height.
