Context of Isaiah 27:5
3I, 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. Or let them lay claim to My protection; let them make peace with Me— yes, let them make peace with Me.” 6In the days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole world with fruit. 7Has the LORD struck Israel as He struck her oppressors? Was she killed like those who slayed her?
