God will strike them with his sword, Leviathan – fugitive and wounded. The dragon in the sea. He keeps the vineyard. He rents out thistles and thorns. The earth will be fruitful, Israel will be glorified and its sins taken away. Everything evil will become dust. The city is wasted and cattle eat its leaves and twigs. In that time the Lord will beat rushes from the river bank even to the Nile. With the great trumpet the exiles Assyria and Egypt will come.
