Context of Isaiah 27:3

1In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. 2In that day: A vineyard of wine, sing ye unto it. I the LORD do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. 4Fury is not in me: would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! I would march upon them, I would burn them together. 5Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; yea, let him make peace with me.
