Context of Isaiah 27:3

1In that day the LORD will take His sharp, great, and mighty sword, and bring judgment on Leviathan the fleeing serpent—Leviathan the coiling serpent—and He will slay the dragon of the sea. 2In that day: “Sing about a fruitful vineyard. I, the LORD, am its keeper; I water it continually. I guard it night and day so no one can disturb it; 4I am not angry. If only thorns and briers confronted Me, I would march and trample them, I would burn them to the ground. 5Or let them lay claim to My protection; let them make peace with Me— yes, let them make peace with Me.”
